[Fourlanders] Fwd: vhf contest wsjt sked

here is my input.
If the hardware is already setup, I will bring the SW on a USB stick and
take the initiaitive
to install and see what I can accomplish OUTSIDE contest time.

Let's make a tentative sked time, maybe one before the contest begins and 1
in the contest?
not know the WSJT learning curse, this is risky, but I have confidence.
(maybe misplaced, but none the less...)
