ARRL 10 GHz Contest Round 1, August 17 and 18th.

I've either been really busy or suffered with some leg issues so I haven't been too "radioactive" on the microwave bands this year.  I am so looking forward to operating in the 10 GHz and up contest this weekend from my new microwave location on top of Ohlman Cemetery hill just outside of Ohlman, IL on IL Route 16.  It is between Nokomis and Pana.  It has a clear shot all around and it is about 40 feet higher than the surrounding terrain.  I look forward to putting EM59ji on the map.  I plan to be QRV by 6:00 am.  I hope to work some stations!  I will have my cell phone and 144.260 with me.  Good luck and may propagation be with us!
