The second weekend of the 10 GHz Cumulative is just over a week away.
Who is going to be on for the contest? Who will operate at the fixed
site? Who will be on from home? Who will be on from some other fixed
site? Who wants to rove?
Here is what I have:
***Rover: WBØLJC, Gary. My route is up in the air. Mostly depending on
if there is a fixed site near the Twin Cities. If there are no ops at a
fixed site, then I may do an out and back route in SE MN and NE Iowa,
but will not be traveling as far south as previously mentioned.
****Rover#2: Chris, NØUK and Holly, KØHAC. Saturday start near
Hutchinson, MN EN24tw. Then move west for a couple of stops before
turning south and ending the day in Fairmont. Sunday near Esterville, IA
and working their way back home during the day.
***Fixed site(s):???? We need people to work!!!
Donn has visited the Whitetail Woods site EN34lq. His scouting report is
that there are limited views, generally to the South from the parking
lot. If you are willing to move out of the parking lot there is a much
more open site about 100 yards from the parking lot. Views from this
area are about 103° to more then 330°. You can use Lenny's idea of a
small wagon to move your equipment. However, there is a close line of
trees to the west, about 0.1 mile away but ground level is about 30'
lower. Not the best, but no one has come up with anything better. Let me
know if you want an image that show the site.
***Fixed site: EN26cg. KØSHF, Lenny. Todd NOØX will not be with Lenny
this time.
Fixed Site: EN54we. WA9TT, Larry Saturday only after 9:30 AM.
****Home stations: KØAWU, Bill EN37ed. Without rain scatter he can only
work east of south due to terrain and forest.
Others out of the Twin Cities area:???
Not On: WBØEBG, Ray. KØKFC, Jim. W7XU, Arliss. Todd NOØX. WØZQ, Jon Not
on Saturday. Maybe on Sunday.
****There are two loaner rigs available. Jon, WØZQ has them. Please
contact him ASAP if you wish to use one of the rigs. Must picked up
before Friday 12 Sept. If you can't pick it up from Jon, then let me
know ASAP. I will get it from Jon and then you can get it from me next week.
Please let me know your plans/ ideas.
73, Gary WBØLJC
