[VHFcontesting] 2M Sprint Monday night 9/23

[Grid Pirates]

Regarding rule 7... other than email, which internet resources are most
likely best to support scheduling during the 2m sprint?  What are the most
common sites used to facilitate real-time scheduling?  What's best for VHF?


There are obviously DX clusters

http://www.dxwatch.com/
http://www.dxsummit.fi/DxSpots.aspx

but those are mostly for spotting and mostly HF.  There are digital or
HSCW, EME & MS chat & sked pages

http://www.pingjockey.net/cgi-bin/pingtalk
http://www.pingjockey.net/cgi-bin/pingSKED

but those seem very compartmentalized or don't allow for SSB/CW terrestrial
discussions.

So what do or will you use tonight, if you choose to use anything at all?
 I've seen:

ON4KST (requires registration email)
http://www.on4kst.org/chat/login.php?band=2

and

DXworld
http://dxworld.com/vhfsked.html
http://dxworld.com/144prop.html
http://dxworld.com/vhfqso.html

Other suggestions?

Seems like if most folks are not looking at the same resource, rule 7 will
be mainly fallback to one on one emails and phone calls, which is fine, but
it would be nice to have us all in one place to get the best bang for our
buck.

I'm going to attempt to activate the station for a few hours tonight and
would like to maximize my QSOs while operating.

FYI: Rule 7.0 has changed due to request by many at the SE VHF conference.

7. Use of telephone, packet or internet methods to schedule contacts
during the contest is acceptable.
