[WARC] Fw: [BC'ers] W9FZ/R six grid rove this weekend

[Todd Sprinkmann]

    Want your areas to know about Bruce W9FZ's roving
plans this weekend, which will be easily workable on SSB
for most of you.   This is the same fellow who opped as
KB9C/R last year, same good station and strong signal.

 Bruce is a commercial pilot, so it's not like
he cut a Japan vacation short to come home and play in
the contest!   Also note that for the 2nd year, he's having
KC9RDC Russell from Richland Center take a more
active role in calling CQ.   So keep a listen out for Russell
and Bruce and give them some contacts, please.

     We'll talk about you folks submitting logs for the plaque
award after the contest.   If there's any questions, email me
before noon tomorrow (contest starts 1pm Sat. and runs
until 10pm Sun.)
      Basic logging info you need to write down is:
BAND,TIME,DATE,MODE (Phone or CW),CALL,GRID.
(Meaning the other station's call and grid square)
You can certainly log on paper; I did for years.   We'll work
on log submissions after the contest, you have up to 30 days.

    Talk it up, still have a little time to get a new one on.
    Good luck, 73,
    Todd  KC9BQA   EN63ao   40 N of Milwaukee

> Hello BC'ers:

> I'm in Japan at the moment. But between now and contest
> time, I'll travel halfway around the world, load my radios
> in the Twin Cities, load my antennas in EN-43, and begin the
> contest from EN52 (see sched below).  So there are some
> things in the way, but I have every intention of being on.

> This year, from the first two grids, Russell KC9RDC will be
> at the mike most of the time.  Russell will have 5 radios
> and amplifiers to manage for 7 bands.  I'll have a straight
> key by me if needed. So it will be my callsign but not my
> voice during the day on Saturday. From SW Wisconsin near
> Dodgeville, we should be good into Chicago, Milwaukee, and
> MSP--and points between. I'll be solo for the other grids.
> My 54/44 locations are not too far from Necedah, WI where it
> is flat and full of trees so my sigs may be weaker from
> there--but let's give it a go.
>
> Yes, we will occasionally check 146.55/58 but with the
> little magmount we won't expect too much there.
>
> Only a six grid rove this time in order to accommodate a
> number of things--one of which is the Vikes game on Sunday
> evening.  Much warmer weather --even if not very nice--this
> year over the psst few.  Note I'll be in EN43 twice--on both
> late evenings.
>
> Please work me on 6, 2, 222, 432, 902, 1.2, 2.3, and 10G.
> Main CQ'ing freq will be 144.240. (I've not seen any other
> rovers on that freq yet--let me know if anyone else already
> claimed that and I'll move up.)  Plan on going to .140 on
> most of the other bands. I'm thinking up around .180 for 6m.
