Hello Tom and everyone else interested in VHF contesting....
We need a reflector that can be used for contesting in real time. The
PingJockey reflector is great for meteor scatter and such. Maybe
something on the Slack system would work....any ideas?? I think that
Dan-N5TM is the "owner" of the VHF Slack channels, maybe he has some
ideas....

Marshall,
I agree on the top and bottom of the hour for ssb/cw. Jim, K8JH and I
tried that as much as we could when we were in EN67.
The Slack channel "rover-raregrid" seems to have taken off very well.
Compared to even 10 years ago, there are a lot more folks putting on
the grids. I still am in amazement as to how Fred Fish did it.

Hello Gerry....In our area, I have been pushing the following idea:
Stations should check for SSB or CW at the top and bottom of the
hour. IF some Es exists then work it!! ... as long as possible. If
the Es fades, then back to FT8 or FT4. If you think this idea has
merit, please champion this method up in your area.
Another idea: if a big Es opening happens, post that information on
the reflectors. The problem here is that there does not seem to be
any reflector that is "universally" used for something like this.
Any suggestions??
