[Joe Serocki]

Interesting ideas. How about 6m+ for this coming weekend, anyone want to
propose from freq suggestions for NE Illinois?

Subject: [VHFcontesting] Common rover frequency

Here is an idea I've been kicking around for these contests.  Rovers are not
often crossing paths.  It would seem to me that in the heat of a contest
with a lot of QSYing and moving that rovers could agree on using a common
frequency.  If base stations just got used to looking for rovers at...
say... 144.245, I think we could all benefit.  Base stations looking for a
specific rover sure wouldn't be disappointed if they found other roves when
they called.  Rovers similarly wouldn't mind being found when a base was
looking for somebody else.

So in an effort to see how this works, I'll be using 144.245 this contest.
Any time I am not doing a search and pounce, or QSY to other bands, I'll be
on or listening to 144.245.  I encourage other rovers to use this
frequency.  Let's see how a shared rover spot works.
