WB8BZK/R will be roving the September VHF contest starting out at Hillcrest
Park (old Nike site) in EN53va Waukesha, WS just west of Milwaukee. I'll
operate from there for about two hours at the start of the contest then move
several miles east to Wick Field Park to operate from EN63ab until about
2300Z.

I'll drive down to Nichol Knoll EN62ad in Arlington Hts, IL where I will
operate from about 0130Z for the rest of the evening.

Sunday morning I will set up at about 1400Z on Reimer hill in Palatine, IL
where I'll operate for two hours from EN52xc.

If the hill at Greene Valley is open, I'll operate from EN51xr for about 3
hours starting at about 1800Z

I'll hit EN61ax for about an hour before heading back to EN62ad (Nichol
Knoll) for the rest of the contest.

Bands will include
100W 50 (Loop)  50.190
125W 144 (Loop & 4 el)  144.225
25W FM (vertical)  223.5
120W 222 (Loop & 4 el)  222.135
75W 432 (Stacked Loops & 10 el)  432.135

Best of luck to everyone in the contest,
