OBJECTIVES: Provide contacts with stations needing these grids for their
VUCCs and increase our VHF activity during the June VHF contest.

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. >>Based on your input, I'll prioritize
which grids and time in grid.<<

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 your requested gird(s).
You may also be able to spot QSOs with other fixed stations to be alerted of
our on-the-air status. 

You can enter your requests now by clicking this on-line, Google spreadsheet
URL: http://tinyurl.com/a3suq3r and entering your needed VUCC grids and
bands on the next available rows. Please only enter your information into
columns B, C, D & E (highlighted in yellow). I'll enter the remaining
information. You can check back from time to time to see if your requests
have been accepted as I only have a limited amount of time in each grid and
may minimize time in low demand grids. Again, first come, first served.

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/pointing program. 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 hey, it's just a hobby and its deductible (Isn't it?).
