One other thing that seems huge to me, is that this can definitely increase the chances for CW and WSJT QSO’s, (moon bounce or terrestrial).  Relying on “sched’s”, for so long, has been hit or miss.

Ron,

It is good and now comes the challenge of how we operationalize it.   I suppose we could just have all operators all cruising the Web and looking for contacts.  Alternately, we could make it one persons job, especially during busy times, to watch for spots and then pass it along via the "chat" function on Writelog.  It will clearly I think be of more help to those playing Search and Pounce than those who are Running.

What do you think this looks like for us during the June contest?

Johnny
