I've had a few more updates. Thanks to everyone who has sent in an update.

If anyone else has an update please let me know.

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 
who we work 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.

            ****WBØVHF, Evelyn.  Is planning to be at Jim's on Saturday. 
Starting in the late morning. If feeling up to it she will try to get 
back to Jim's on Sunday.

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.

*    *****If you don't have a rig and need to borrow one, please let me 
know. We have one loaner still available.  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. Larry, 
WA9TT, will be using the other club loaner as his rig has not been 
repaired. There may be additional rigs as some of the ops own extra 
equipment.

******Fixed home QTH:* KØAWU, Bill in EN37ed. His plans have changed. 
Bill will be available pretty much the entire weekend.

*****Fixed EN26cg*: KØSHF, Lenny hopes to be on both days. He is still 
having health issues.

*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 at EM49hq.

*******Canadian Operation:* VE4MA, Barry, is organizing some local 
operations on the higher bands up to 122 GHz. He can be available for 
any long rain scatter or tropo contacts.

******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.
