Bob, I could try to find a couple who knew how to get their 706's above 28 MHz, but the hundreds of miles we need to drive around the mountains to activate more then one grid corner would be problema

I'm posting this for Gedas, W8BYA, as a favor. I know nothing about the condition of the filters but I do know the filters. The price is a real bargain if you need such a thing. http://www.ebay.com/i

For what it's worth, I will also be on and available for skeds from DM58 from 7PM MDT until I get bored from not hearing anyone. I will be on ON4KST VHF/UHF R2 chat and also on PingJockey. Good luck

The WORST thing we could do is create a bunch of redundant, local chat or spotting pages. We need everybody on the same "page" when it comes to contest spotting. For me, accessing one page for the we

What I had planned to do in June and July, before this conversation started, was watch KST chat (both 50 MHz Region 2 and Region 2 VHF/UHF pages) most all of the time, sign on to PingJockey during "n

I have heard this complaint for quite a while and agree its a problem, although I never equated it with the growth of VHF contesting. I now see that it could. This should be a simple rule change. Add

Changing the Rover description to allow a single grid operation would be the EASIEST, but would sort of violate the spirit of roving. I didn't want to suggest changing any rule, just adding a clarifi
