[NLRS] 10 G Cumulative this weekend. 18 Sept Update

[Jon Platt]

Good luck to everyone in this weekends 10GHz contest.  This year I am focused on the State QSO Party Challenge (ya, HF) and I will be in Iowa as a rover in the IA QSO Party and not active on Sunday either.   Its unfortunate that there are several contests that overlap this weekend.  Be safe everyone and have fun.

Hi Everyone, 
 
 The second 10 GHz and Up Cumulative weekend is this weekend.
 
Still some others to hear from. 
 
 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 views 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 cal
 
*****The weather forecast for my rove area has gotten worse for both days. I will do the best I can, but if it's raining too hard I may take a time out. I am hoping for some rain scatter if I am not getting dumped on.
