[VHFcontesting] Scheduling Multi-band QSOs in June VHF...

[Tom]

Marshall,

I agree on the top and bottom of the hour for ssb/cw. Jim, K8JH and I 
tried that as much as we could when we were in EN67.

The Slack channel "rover-raregrid" seems to have taken off very well.

Compared to even 10 years ago, there are a lot more folks putting on the 
grids. I still am in amazement as to how Fred Fish did it.
