Subject: RE: [VHFcontesting] Contest rule & DE KE1LI
Paul
I spoke with Bart Janke. ARRL Contest Director about this very thing last
spring. He said it was OK, with some caution. I wanted to send emails ro
about a thousand hams within my FM range, FM can be a desert. As long as you
send the emails BEFORE the contest starts its OK, in fact he advocated it since
it increases intrest and activity. You can pass your cell number to set up
scheds. I picked up about 30 of my 150 contacts last sept that way. 7 or 8
folks entered and submitted logs from those emails, it was worth the effort.
You can coordinate scheds via text or cell during the contest. This includes
bearing, range, freq and tume to initiate the qso. What you cant do is use the
info passed this way to complete the contact or assist in "dialing in" the
signal. You have to be scrupulously honest about clearly getting the grid and
call over the radio.
If you dig around on the arrl contest sute pages there is more info. Do not
confuse vhf uhf spotting rules with hf which are much more restrictive.

Good morning all,
KE1LI (Multi/Multi) will be operational from FN41AU on the bottom 4 bands
with power and PA's
Hopefully you can listen for us (and others) in the Northeast.
One question I have concerns the rules for generating contacts.
I was going to give out my cell number in an effort to generate some local
FM contacts. Also, a quick email on this page to point out where we are on
the bands.
Is this legal?
Opinions welcomed.
Let's hope the propagation Gods are with us.
73, have fun, be safe. Rovers be careful driving.
