[VHFcontesting] Contest Operating Proposal

[paulrollinson]

I like the idea of top of the hour ssb, bottom of the hour cw/dig.Define top of the hour? :45 -:15?Obviously, the rest is bottom of the hour.Struggled to get 6m running. Bad coax and frigid climb yesterday resolved it.Next focus on 903; hi swr. Will wait until it gets to 20f.Rovers be careful. Snow in the Northeast. 73, have funThanks,Paul Rollinson,KE1LI Fn41au 860-928-5147860-208-8814 Cell/TextPaulrollinson at sbcglobal.net Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Yea, fat fingered the grid ...W3SO is in Fox NOVEMBER 00 sn2. Really glad that some of you will also try theTop    of hour SSBBottom of hour CWand maybe more of FT4 in between on 6m.[btw. Be very "gentle" - vy qrs -  on CW on 6m;I may not always have a good cw op on standby.]3. I have to check with Marty, W3YOZ, re the stateof 222 when I get up there on Friday.Ask when you work us on another band.4.
