*****NØLNO Bill and NØUTP Elizabeth. Tentative. They will try to be on from near home in Cedar Rapids for a short time if Bill and get the rig back on the air. He may not have time to finish work on the rig.

*****KBØZ Paige has checked out her rig and "it's still working". Details to be worked out but she is willing to get on the air from a site near the intersection of I-29 and I-80. She mentioned working the rovers at the Storm Lake area, so late in the day on Saturday. Full details as I get them.

Fixed group in Missouri-At least four ops at Hannibal, MO. EM49hq. Maybe as many as seven. Most only do SSB. This would be an early morning contact from our first site. Other sites may be possible if we have an open look. Two ops expect to stay until 3 PM.
