As a service to all VHF contesters I gather the plans of stations planning
to be active and post them on the Rover Resource Page. This started out to
help folks plan for Rover operations in their area, but has become popular
for all categories.
This can be a big help in VHF Contesting because most people use very
directional antennas. There may be a station 20 miles away that is on and
you never know it unless your antennas happen to cross! If you make notes
[before the contest starts] you can keep track of who is where, and know
where to look. This is REALLY helpful with Rovers that are passing through,
so you will know when to look for them.
If you plan to be on please send me the call you plan to use [this sounds
obvious, but with multis, rovers, clubs and such it's not easy to tell!],
the grid or grids you plan to activate, and any other station info you care
to share. An email address you can be reached at to set up scheduled
contacts can also be helpful. I won't include your email address unless you
put it in the body of the message [some folks are touchy about privacy
issues, and such]. Send me your plans as soon as possible! Also, if you
know of any stations that will be on but don't use email, send me their
plans so we can spot them as well.
I just finished an update, so all of the plans I currently have are posted.
Keep 'em coming, and have fun!
My plans have been reduced dramatically, due in large part to the $2/gal gas
prices! Now I'm planning to put on EM68 & EM78 on Saturday, and EM69 &
EM79 on Sunday.
Will have A,B,C, & D with 100 watts and yagis, except for 222 which will be
only 25 watts.
