First weekend of 10GHz contest coming up – 7 days and counting!!
OK!!!!
Its only 186 hours till the start of the first weekend of the ARRL 10GHz contest (as of this posting)!
Time to ante up and announce your plans for this years first weekend of
the 10GHz contest.
I am still planning on going as follows depending on weather:
Saturday
8am till 10am
My start point for this year on Saturday will be:
Sterling State Park 2800 State Park Rd., Monroe, MI
Second planned stop is the Lost Peninsula area:
1045 to noontime
6276 Edgewater Dr., Erie, MI – EN81gr
This has a good shot directly EAST across Lake Erie towards Perry Park.
Outside of that, it is not very good for other directions. The owner of
the restuarant there has at least given me permission to use the parking
lot there when I want to.
Third spot
1:30 till 3pm(?):
501 W. Lakeshore Dr. Port Clinton, OH (EN81mm)
Fourth spot
4pm till 5pm(?):
Nickel Plate Dr. Huron, OH (EN81rj)
Fifth stop
5:30pm till 6:30pm(?):
4700 Coen Rd Vermilion, OH (EN81uk)
Sixth stop
8pm(?):
2800 Perry Park Rd Perry, OH (EN91kt)
=====
That last stop at Perry’s park may wait till Sunday morning as it would
be getting late and I do not have any idea how many would still be
around that late.
I have reservations at Geneva State Park (4499 Padanarum Rd, Geneva, OH)
for a camp site this year and thats a two hour drive from
Vermillion 
It all depends on how tired I am and how the schedule
goes.
If that happens, I will go back to Perry Park first thing Sunday morning
at 8am and then back to Geneva State park depending on who is out there.
Sunday currently is still up in the air right now. Waiting on a few
addresses for other sites which may change my plans for Saturday also.
Was hoping to get into Pennsylvania and New York this year but not heard
of any good sites to use.
I do have to mention that I am tied to the car battery for this year
still. I know, I need a portable battery. Just haven’t gotten around to
it as I have not had a need yet. It would just sit in the house and not
get used again until next year.
