Hi Everyone,

The second 10 GHz and Up Cumulative weekend is this weekend

Updates are *****

******Rover- WBØLJC The weather forecast has caused a change in my 
plans. I will be doing my route in reverse. Saturday I will rove along 
US 20 in Iowa starting at EN32fi, South Ellsworth. Then I will travel 
East along US 20 toward Waterloo.  The sites offer a good view in most 
directions. Then Sunday I plan to start at either EN42el (a bridge over 
US20, if I didn't get there on Saturday) or EN42cr ( a site I have used 
many times in the past). I will continue North using the sites I had 
planned to use Saturday. These sites are good to the North and some are 
good to Michigan. With a little moving around some of the sites are good 
to the south. I will be looking for rain scatter, but I'm afraid much of 
the rain will be on me. Call me at 612-346-6181(c) I will not answer if 
I am driving, but will pull over as soon as I can to return the call.

         Jon, WØZQ, has tentative plans to operate in the Iowa QSO party 
on Saturday. He might join me on                 Sunday.

Rovers--Chris, NØUK and Holly, KØHAC plan to rove for the contest 
weekend. They plan to start somewhere near Hutchinson, EN24tu and the

travel west for a short way before turning back north.
