Hello Gary,

As of right now I believe that KB8U, WA8VPD, WB8TGY, W8ISS, NN9X, and maybe KD9GGZ will all be on from Northwest lower Michigan.  I don't know who else is planning on being up there for the weekend, other than our host K2YAZ who will be on from his home.  

Most likely primary sites are the beach at Empire EN64XT and Elberta Bluff EN64VP.  If the weather  is good, VPD and TGY, are planning on going to the  Mouth of the Platte River EN64WR and Arcadia Beach EN64VL to work back to the main group on all the bands we have.  VPD and TGY may try a new site inland that I think would have a good shot toward the south EN64VM86JA.

Plans are about as firm as Jello....

73,
Mark 
WB8TGY

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know my plans for the September 10 G weekend
coming up on September 19 and 20. I hope to work most of you.

On Saturday I plan to start in EN43en, SE Minnesota, and travel south
into Iowa ending to day near Oelwein, EN42cr. Some of these sites have
good views to the East and West so I will be looking for contacts in
those directions too.

Sunday, I plan to start further south along US 20, between Manchester
and Independence Iowa. Probably at EN42el, a bridge overpass with good
360 views. Then travel along US 20 using other bridge overpasses. I will
be looking in other directions as well. Depending on the contacts
available  I will either turn North on the east side of Waterloo or
continue roving West long US 20 until I get to I-35. Then turn North
toward home. I'm hoping for better conditions this year.

Of course this is all with weather permitting. I'll be looking for rain
scatter, just not on either end. I will be watching the radar this year
so I don't miss contacts like I did last year.

Please let me know your pans and if you will be available for contacts.
It looks like there is going to be lite activity from the usual group
back to the north.

73 Gary, WBØLJC
