Time to think about 2003 again.  I would like to
formally suggest a 2m FM activity hour.  I propose
making it on Sunday October 12, 2003 at 4 PM.  We can
informally decide to do it here, but I would prefer to
have it officially placed into the QSO mailings and
promoted statewide.  It appears the contact at NARC
is:
 k3cm@arrl.net

He needs to hear from us to get this official.  I
tried writing, but failed to obtain a response.  Most
people tend to not answer emails anymore, so you never
know if they read them, but it's worth a shot.

The logic behind this time is twofold.  First of all
the Murgas Club always uses Sunday at 4 PM, so they
are already making noise on 2 FM.  Also, with 2 hours
left in the contest, there is plenty of time to devote
to 2 FM, so no one feels rushed.  I personally worked
2 Fm for the last 2 hours of the test last year with
decent results.  I worked a fair stream of people.  If
we promote it, it should be much better.
