June 2020 Northern Grids Expedition

I will activate three grids in June 2020 along the northern border: EN48 Minnesota, EN56 Wisconsin and EN67 Michigan. On my return trip home to Seattle, I'll stop in rare grids as needed to put them on the air. I want to hear from anyone who needs these grids. Don't be shy!
