W0VOA/r operated by W9RM will be active in the UHF contest this weekend.

I will activate the EN44/45/54/55 grid intersection starting late afternoon
or early evening on Saturday and then travel to the EN45/46/55/56
intersection early Sunday morning, with the emphasis on EN46/56.  I will be
on 432 only, with 200W and a 8' boom antenna. I will concentrate on CW on
432.100, pointing Twin Cities and Milwaukee/Chicago headings.  I will also
have limited range 222, 902 & 1296 available in case I run across another
rover.

I dragged this stuff all the way from Colorado so I'm sure hoping to work
someone.  The south intersection shouldn't be a problem since I'm using
well documented stops but the north intersection is in the deep woods and I
won't know how good my site selection was until I get there.  I will
attempt to announce my location on ON4KST R2 VHF/UHF chat.

Hope to hear YOU in the contest !
