[VHFcontesting] The CQWW-VHF Contest, and The Rover Resource Page

[Dan Evans]

This weekend is the CQWW-VHF contest! 

For complete details check out:

 I just completed an update of the Rover Resource Page
with all of the plans I have so far.  This is the last
call for plans!  I will do one more update tomorrow. 
Good luck to all.

If you haven't seen this before, As a service to all
VHF contesters I gather the plans of stations planning
to be active and post them on the Rover Resource
Page.  This started out to help folks plan for Rover
operations in their area, but has become popular for
all categories. 
This can be a big help in VHF Contesting because most
people use very directional antennas. There may be a
station 20 miles away that is on and you never know it
unless your antennas happen to cross!  If you make
notes [before the contest starts] you can keep track
of who is where, and know where to look.  This is
REALLY helpful with Rovers that are passing through,
so you will know when to look for them.
  If you plan to be on please send me the call you
plan to use [this sounds obvious, but with multis,
rovers, clubs and such it's not easy to tell!], the
grid or grids you plan to activate, and any other
station info you care to share.   An email address you
can be reached at to set up scheduled contacts can
also be helpful.  I won't include your email address
unless you put it in the body of the message [some
folks are touchy about privacy issues, and such]. 
Send me your plans as soon as possible! Also, if you
know of any stations that will be on but don't use
email, send me their plans so we can spot them as
well.
