[NLRS] 10 G Cumulative WE#1 August 8th update

[Gary]

Updates have been few and far between but there is still some info to 
pass along.

New info highlighted with ****.

*Rovers:* WBØLJC, Gary and WA9TT, Larry. Start time with MN/WI (EN35rj 
stations 7:30 AM. _First planned_ _site is EN32qw,_ not EN32ow. Sorry 
for any confusion, mostly on my part.

         Route--Saturday North Central Iowa near Waterloo south to U20 
and west on US20. North from Fort Dodge on Sunday. End at Kiester, EN33en.

         ******Expected  arrival time at the first US 20 site is 10 to 
10:30 AM. At each site, along US20,  we     will start with the EN35rj 
group and others to the north. Then look East as there are a few         
                     close ops in that direction. Next is the  EM49hq 
group in Hannibal, MO. From there it depends                     on 
conditions.

*******Rover#2*: Chris, NØUK, and Holly, KØHAC will be roving on a route 
starting near EN24TQ heading                     south ending in Iowa. 
Overnight in Fairmont, MN. Heading SW back into Iowa on Sunday morning 
                 before heading north back into MN to wrap up the 
weekend. Contact 612-719-6351

            ****K8OS, JB, will not be roving with Chris and Holly. He 
has a work commitment taking up his     time.

*Fixed:* KØKFC and WA2VOI at Jim''s QTH in EN35rj.

            Jon, WØZQ plans to be at Jim's both days.

             Ray, WBØEBG, both days.

             Mike, KBØOZN. At Jim's one or maybe both days.

            ****Possible addition at Jim's: WBØVHF, Evelyn. Recovery 
from hip surgery has been going well and     she still hopes to be at 
the EN35rj site but maybe for only one day and not both.

             *****There is a chance the AJ9L, Andy, will join the EN35 
group. However, he lives in Neenah, WI, a four hour drive to get to 
Jim's. He is pretty new to the band.

********If you don't have a rig and need to borrow one, please let me 
know. We have two loaners. However, one has been spoken for by Larry, 
WA9TT, if his rig hasn't been repaired in the next few             days. 
If his rig does get fixed then we will have two loaners at Jim's QTH.The 
other loaner is a                     combination of Jon's Handheld rig 
and a club dish, 2w and 18" dish. Thanks to Jon for the temporary     
         use of his rig so that others can have a rig to use.

*Fixed home QTH:* KØAWU, Bill in EN37ed. Part time on Saturday full time 
Sunday. Call for sked.

*****Fixed EN26cg*: KØSHF, Lenny plans to be on both days. Maybe NOØX, 
Todd, will join him again. but this is unknown at this time.

*****Fixed from near home QTH*: NBØM, Ed. No further plans available at 
this time. However, I have                 suggested at site with good 
takeoffs in some directions not far from his home QTH.

*Fixed site EN42ts*: KA9VDU Gregr. He will be at EN442ts13HH Platte 
Mound M. This site has very                     good views to the West 
but other directions may be limited by the trees at the top.

*Fixed group at EN52xi*: AA9IL and K9TMS. Maybe another op or two.

******Fixed group Saturday* *at EM49hq:* AF4JF, Herbert. AD7OI, Kevin 
and  Debbie, KI7GVT, plan to be     at EM49hq part of the day, they have 
a commitment at 4PM. K0ØZ, Ron and his XYL Debbie,                     
     KC9ULA will be at EM49hq for a short time. Then they plan to rove 
to the north for a few sites.                     However, roving back 
to the south is also possible. There could be another op or two there too.

*******Canadian Operation:* VE4MA, Barry, is organizing some local 
operations on the higher bands. I                     don't have any 
more details.

******Operating QTH undetermined:* NØKP, Dave. Best info that I have is 
either EN34hx, building top, or         he may join the EN35rj group. 
Site depends on weather/wind. He doesn't want to get blown off the top 
         of the 34hx building.

*Not on*: W9FZ and KA9VVQ. They have other plans for the weekend.

         KØMHC, Jim. Plans to have tower mounted system up in 2026.

         KCØSKM, Gregg. Unavailable for the weekend.

         NØAKC, Charlie will not be on. He will be working the ARRL 2.3 
and Up EME contest.

         W9HQ David. Will not be available.

*Lets hear from the rest of you.
