CLARC, http://clarc.org will be operating as NU5M from Sylvan

almost next door to Ellington Field 29.5858 -95.15485.  I am the V/UHF
station manager and we only plan on having a minimal presence on 50 /
144 / 432.  We also plan on operating FM simplex as well.

Now if the FD V/UHF scores would mimic other ARRL contests I would
consider putting on a full blown V/UHF effort.   We could work a half
dozen grids or more with a moderate effort but would be blessed to
work Louisiana or North Texas sections so why put in the effort.  But
when you only get one point per q and the multiplier is sections not
grids why bother.
