[MAMS] [BC'ers] W9SNR/R August UHF Plans

[Todd Sprinkmann]

   Hi Jim,

   Nice to open up the mailbox and see your rover plans.
Many of us are glad to hear from many ops, in a wide area
surrounding WI/ILL/MI/MN.

   Also want to thank you for submitting your plans to the Google
spreadsheet that 100's of V/UHF'ers pay attention to, far beyond
the reach of regional V/UHF lists.  That spreadsheet link is at:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?authkey=CNPR64wB&hl=en_US&key=tdbIpXxVQCs82OvLTcoZX5g&hl=en_US&authkey=CNPR64wB#gid=1

    Some may say, "who cares what the rest of the country thinks?"
I can assure you (from my private emails, plus feedback I get
nationwide from kc9bqa.com) that *many* are watching the
Midwest.  NLRS helped revive the UHF contest several years
ago.  A devoted segment of V/UHF'ers is exactly what we need
to keep activity levels high.   It's true that ham radio is a hobby.
But when you think about how hard most V/UHF'ers try to
improve their stations, it's only natural to want to toot our horns.

    Posted activity for next weekend is very light so far.  The UHF
contest is *supposed* to be an Upper Midwest speciality.  Please
post your fixed station or rover plans.

    73,
