Hello to all,

For this September's 10G+ contest weekend, we will have a small group traveling on the west side of Lake Michigan. Saturday we start in Kenosha, WI traveling north to Manitowoc by Saturday evening. Sunday, we start in Algoma, WI and travel south throughout the day.

Most stops' primary view is to the east. However, we have 2-3 locations which will work towards the west (WI, MN, IA). The best would be our first location on Saturday morning in EN62bo. Anyone interested in setting up a sked? 6:30AM-7AM (central) would be best for us. For Sunday morning early, we could use a location in EN64fj. An afternoon QTH on each day is in EN63ds.

Please let me know if anyone is interested in setting up a sked. Or if you would like to join our group for all or part of the weekend.

Thank & be safe,

Pete

Good morning, all.

Holly and I will be roving for the second leg of the 10GHz contest.

We plan to basically follow a similar route that has proven effective for the past couple of years. We will start somewhere near Hutchinson, MN and then rove south, finishing up near Fairmont on Saturday evening. Sunday we will begin a little south of Fairmont, just over the Iowa border. We will then head west before heading back north into MN.

We intend to begin operating around 0730 CDT each morning. We try to move quickly from stop to stop, maximising the number of opportunities to work us throughout the weekend.

Hopefully we’ll see some good tropo and/or rainscatter again this year.

Please call us on 612-719-6351 or of course just call us when you hear us on the band.

We both hope to work you all frequently through both days.

73! Chris Cox, N0UK
