[VHFcontesting] Fwd: ARRL VHF Contest....

[Les Rayburn]

Lots like our "PR Campaign" to encourage ARES Groups to participate in 
the new "FM Only" category are
starting to pay off, at least in Alabama. Hopefully, we'll see other 
emergency response groups test out their
simplex capabilities during the January contest as well.

See e-mail below for more details. Several groups here also plan to 
activate emergency operations centers (EOC) at hospitals, EMA offices, 
etc. Should make for a lot more activity on .55 and .58 at least.

Hello Les,
  Hope everything is going good. The Fayette & Lamar County groups are 
planning to combine together for this. We are planning to do some 
hill-topping in both counties and possibly use the Hospitals in Fayette 
and Hamilton as well.

Thanks and 73's,
