> Hello NLRS land.

> During each contest many of us who live in NLRS-land, on the edge of the 
> western frontier (yes, tongue in cheek), have had difficulties in working 
> eastward into the grid rich state of Wisconsin, northern IL, IN and 
> western MI. At the same time, those located in those eastern areas, CVCC 
> and Badger Contesters, have had a hard time working into the QSO rich NLRS 
> area. As an experiment, it has been suggest that we have a east-west 
> activity time where those of us who live in MN look east and those who 
> live in WI/MI look west. One suggestion is to have two such activity times 
> during the Sept contest, perhaps one hour on Sat., then again another hour 
> on Sunday with the idea that not everyone can make both time slots, but 
> they may be able to make one. For example 7 - 8 pm Sat and 1 - 2 pm 
> Sunday, etc, etc.

> If this seems like a good experiment we can communicate this via the NLRS, 
> Badger Contester, and CVCC reflectors for the Sept contest.
