OBJECTIVES: Provide contacts with stations needing these grids for their
VUCCs.

Charlie, N0AKC has called to my attention that this would be a good
opportunity for those still needing QSOs from some of these relatively rare
grids. At this point, we're talking about EN23-28 and EN13-18 but, this
could be influenced by your requests.

So, I'll be accepting a limited number of schedule requests from VUCC
enthusiasts (first come, first served). This will ensure that I point in
your direction and call for you while I'm stopped in the gird(s) of interest
to you. You may also be able to spot QSOs with other fixed stations to alert
you of our on-the-air status. I'll try to work VUCC schedules BEFORE any 6
meter band opening that may occur.

An overall route schedule will be available later after I determine which
grids are most in demand and therefore will require longer operating times.
We'll need your 6 digit grid square in order to build a station data base
within my logging program. Please indicate grids desired by band. For
example: "EN13 on 144, EN27 & 28 on 222 and EN15 & 17" or whatever your
specific needs are. We'll have good signals on 2, 1.25 and 0.7 meters. 6
meters may not be a good band for schedules over these relatively short
distances.

I can't guarantee good propagation, good weather, solar eruptions or lower
gas cost but hay, it's just a hobby and its deductible (Isn't it?).
