[Fourlanders] Fwd: vhf contest wsjt sked

[Jim Worsham]

I agree with Brian, it is Scott's call.  I will add my 2 cents.  I have been
told numerous times by folks who do WSJT every day that the mountain is not
the place to try and make this work.  They have all told me to get it
working at home and practice first.  Contrary to what some folks will tell
you making a WSJT contact is not like shooting a fish in a barrel.  I plan
to do WSJT on 6 when I get the time to actually work 6 at home again and try
it!

Scott,

Since you are the 2m band captain, you are in the best position to say
whether or not the 2m station will be able to attempt WSJT. It should
be your decision. No is a valid answer. Saying yes and not being ready
would waste their time.

I could not remember through all the other mayhem around me who was
doing 2m. That I why I forwarded the note to the reflector.

Why don't you send a note to Art asking if they would consider a CW
sked? Please also ask what frequencies the tend to stake out on
6m-70cm. They usually hang out at specific spots and that can be handy
information.
