[NLRS] 10 Sept 10 GHz Cumulative Weekend #2 Update

[Gary]

Hi everyone,

The Cumulative is coming up in a few weeks. Saturday September 21st and 
Sunday 22nd.

A few updates since yesterdays. *Still need to hear from more of you, 
either way On or Not.* If you need a rig let us know. We have loaners 
for you to use.

Updates highlighted with ****.

*Rover*: WBØLJC Gary.

****Looks like I will be roving solo. This will change my route, exactly 
what I am going to do is now up in the air. I still want to have a good 
shot at the Missouri and Kansas ops though.

******The previous plan* was to start north of Ames, IA to give us more 
chances to work the Missouri and Kansas stations. Then travel east 
toward Waterloo on Saturday. Sundays route is unsure right now. Expected 
start time with the MN ops is 7:30 AM both days.

*Rovers Wisconsin*: Janice, KA9VVQ and Bruce, W9FZ have a general plan 
to start East of La Crosse and travel SW on Saturday. Ending the day 
near Prairie du Chen. On Sunday travel SE toward Rockford, IL. These are 
just general areas where they are thinking about roving. More details 
when they have firmed up their plans.

******Rover Group #2*: Chris, NØUK, Holly, KØHAC.They have work 
commitments and so are thinking of a low key rove that will keep them 
closer to the home. Details when they have firmed up.

******Rovers up North*: VE4MA, Barry will be roving in VE4 during the 
contest. VA3ECO will join him. Start near the US border in EN19 and then 
head west into EN09 on Saturday. Sunday short rove with the higher 
bands. VE4SA and VE4AQU will be a fixed site for the rovers. They will 
be on a 22 story building with a 2' dish and 19 W and an 18" dish and 
5W. Contact info when they send it to me.

*Fixed Site*: Jim, KØKFC, has offered his QTH in St Croix Falls, EN35rj 
for use as the fixed site. Jim will have his grill going. I believe that 
Donn and Jim will provide the eats.

         WA2VOI, Donn plans to be there with Jim.

         WBØEBG, Ray plans to operate at Jim's on Saturday afternoon, 
starting about 1 PM. Then Sunday for the full day if he is up to it.

         WFØT, Warren, will be using one of the club loaners on Saturday 
using the WØAUS club call.

*****WØADL, Aaron plans to be at Jim's on Sunday. He will use the club 
loaner with the WØAUS club call.

*Fixed site #2*: Lenny, KØSHF and Todd, NOØX, plan to be on from EN26cg 
on Saturday. Starting time is 8 AM. Sunday they have received permission 
to operate from the Andes Tower Hill Ski Hill. EN25eu43CL. Todd has 
scouted the site and it looks to be very good. Both of these sites are a 
long way from the rovers so we will need some rain scatter to make more 
then a few contacts with them. Todd, NOØX, has a number of ops in the 
area who are interested in seeing 10 G operations. I hope that everyone 
who can, runs with them so the new ops can get a feel for the band. The 
ski hill site isn't too far from Jim, KØMHC's QTH. Call them at Lenny's 
cell number 612-916-0261.

*Fixed site # 3: *Larry, WA9TT, had decided to add some 10 G activity to 
his Wisconsin POTA activity on Saturday. Sunday he plans to operate with 
K9PW and the group on Lake Michigan. He will be on in the morning from 
EN54we, the Brillion Wildlife area. The site has a good view in most 
directions. Larry will be available for 10 G activity until 11 AM when 
the POTA event starts. After that time on a selective basis if he gets a 
call from a rover. The POTA event ends at 6 PM.

*Others either from home or another QTH*: Gary, WØGHZ may be on if he 
gets his tower issues fixed.

The Missouri ops will probably be at Hannibal, MO EM49hq, Saturday 
morning for a few hours.

****NØKP, Dave, plans to be on, exactly where depends on the weather, 
wind and rain. Details when we get closer to the weekend and he has 
picked an operating location.

****KØAWU, Bill has said he will be around, how active is up in the air.

****W9HQ, David, plans to be on part time during the weekend. No details 
yet.

****ACØRA, Wyatt, plans to be on 10 G for the weekend, but not on 
terrestrial. He will be on for the EME contest. There is a small chance 
that he will get on outside the EME contest.

*Not on: *Jon, WØZQ, will not be on Saturday. Undecided about Sunday but 
he might go join the fixed site at KFC's.

         W7XU, Arliss, will not be able to be on for the 10 G weekend.

*****NØAKC, Charlie will be busy with the EME contest. No 10G.

*****KCØSKM, Gregg, is not available this year. NØLNO, Bill, NØUTP, 
Elizabeth, will not be on this time. N9LB, Lloyd is not able to get on 
due to health issues. N9EM, John, has not had time to move his 10 G 
equipment to the new site.

****KØMHC, Jim, isn't available for the 10 G weekend.

*If you haven't already done so please let me know your plans for the 
weekend, even if you will not be on the air.*

73, Gary WBØLJC
