[ADXA] question about VHF contest

[Rory Bowers]

Ping Jockey has been quite popular with the Meteor Scatter guys.  The site
says "for Meteor Scatter Only" but I have seen other Ops on there setting
up contacts on modes other than MSK144.  GridTracker has an Off Air Chat
but I have only rarely got an answer back.
GL in the Contest!
