Hi folks!
I've kept next weekend free of other plans so I can work the contest both
days. I will need to borrow Bob's spare NB rig if it is available. My
understanding from reading the mail is that we will try to work local paths
this weekend and consider working the North Shore in September. It will
work best for me to rendezvous with somebody else since I don't know most
of these new locations. The 6AM start for 7AM radio is something I'd rather
avoid, but oh well....
Has anyone started making a list of locations, grid square, lat/lon, and
other grids worked? Many of us don't have a GPS in the car yet but having
the coordinates would at least let us generate maps and directions. I
challenge everyone to at least WRITE DOWN the lat/lon of each location you
use so we can make such a list.
I guess I'd go as far as to create a web page from the info you send me.
Making a HTML table for this isn't too tough. When it's together it can be
added to or linked into the NLRS web page if desired. I guess what I need
is the desired name for each location, the lat/lon, and list of grids
workable from there. Road directions or landmarks could be a separate item
linked to each entry.
