[NLRS] 2013 Field Day VHF Activity Spreadsheet - please update with your information

[Jim Froemke]

I've created an on-line Google spreadsheet which anyone with the link can
access and edit. This will allow you to view other VHF field day stations
AND include your club's information. The purpose is to facilitate QSOs among
multiple VHF field day and other fixed stations. In addition to filling in
this spreadsheet you're encouraged to announce your field day plans on the
reflector. The more chatter, the better the turnout will be in the upper
Midwest.

 

Just click on this link http://tinyurl.com/b24mj9s (or copy and paste it
into your browser's address field). To add your entry just start typing on
the next row available. Your input will be automatically updated when you
click on enter. You can edit your information any time it changes.

So, let's make some noise on the VHF bands during field day! Remember that
"activity breeds more activity"! You can make multiple contacts with the
same station on the same band by using different modes. So, dust off your CW
paddle and bring it along.

Subject: VHF during Field Day? What our your plans?

We can only hope for better 6 meter propagation this year during field day
(June 22 & 23). So, who's-in with what bands and where will you be located?

Recently, I've noticed that those with a casual exposure to 6 meters (during
field day) have in many cases added 6 as one of their primary bands at their
home QTH. But, had it not been for badgering them to operate a shift at the
optional VHF FD station, they wouldn't have gotten interested. It's just
another example of: "Activity breeds activity!"

We'll need to be creative about activity on 2 meters during field day as we
can't count on an opening. But, we can look for each other's field day sites
if we know about your operation. So, make some chatter on this reflector and
let us know what your tentative plans are (subject to change).
