> Currently, I have 2 plans. If 6M is open. And if it is not really open.
> 
> Saturday, if 6M is definetly open, I will head to American EN86, and
> do the 4 Eastern UP grids. Emphasis on 86. That would include a bit
> before the contest. Then return home.
> 
> Saturday, if 6M is not really open, I will drive along Lake Michigan,
> Michigan side. Around here. EN64, 74, 75. If 6M opens, head to the UP.
> Really, need to get JT65 etc running.
> 
> Sunday, will be Downstate Michigan. Essentially, travel route, South
> on US131, GR, East on I-96 to I-75 North and return home.
> 
> Then the usual bands, 6M through 47 GHz. Plan is for more operating
> fun, and less frantic driving. Plus, easy on the fuel costs.
> Typically, each stop, except 86, I plan from 30 to 60 minutes. Bottom
> 4 bands, can operate while mobile. Higher bands, only when I am
> stopped.
> 
> All plans, subject to Murphy, the weather, the river don't rise, and
> as W9FZ likes to famously quote, "Sculpted in Jello." So, sorry no
> skeds or more specific itinery. Maybe a Friday evening, or Saturday
> morning update. Rover Frequency. Oh, I don't know. 144.260 +/- Then
> around the calling frequencies on 6/2/222/432. If 6 is really open,
> likely something uncluttered above 50.200
> 
> 73, Lloyd NE8I/r
> EN74 etc
