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.
