I've heard from several "locals" who've suggested that we establish
"activity hours" for those who have limited time available. So, rather than
listen for the full 33 hours (1 PM Saturday until 10 PM Sunday), you can
"tune-in" on the action during these time periods:
- Saturday 1 - 3 PM at the start of the contest
- Saturday 7 - 10 PM when propagation usually picks up
- Sunday 7 - 10 PM at the end of the contest
Check the rover schedules for more action throughout the upper Midwest by

Also, please support the W0W - EN48 Grid Expedition by selecting # 2 here:

You are encouraged to add your information to Paul's on-line spreadsheet for
the June VHF Contest. So, let's hear about your plans! Note these are our
best estimate of our plans subject to change. http://tiny.cc/e1kexw
Where possible, please enter your 6-digit grid square. Here's a link to a
good, on-line grid square converter.

You're also encouraged to create some chatter on the reflector so that
everyone realizes we'll be lighting up the VHF bands June 8th & 9th.
