[TVARC] Villages On the Air VOTA First Draft

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

I think we’re kind of getting ahead of ourselves.  Although that would be great, I’m not sure how many Villagers are on HF altogether, so the number of potential contacts might be limited.

GM all,  

 

Villagers on the air.

 

We could find something significant that 

happened in the Villages and use that to

set the date. With a little planning 

we could make it a national contest. Maybe 

the Villages might want to print qsls for us? 

Or certificates for working 15 villagers? I 

could get some QST real estate of we give 

them enough time to get it published.

I thought about special 1X1 callsigns but 

the special 1X1 callsign but the two "Ls" 

would prevent that (unless one station

stayed on FT-8.

 

Thoughts ?????????????  

73, 

John, NP2B

I have taken a first pass at creating a list of Villages for VOTA.

I started with the Villages list at: https://www.districtgov.org/images/villages_neighborhoods.pdf

I added The Lofts at Brownwood, which if I understand correctly are part of District 9. I gave the historical Villages a district number of zero. I gave each Village a code designation for use in an exchange which has two alphabetic characters followed by the district number, e.g. Liberty Park is Lima Papa Five. The list as it stands has 99 "entities" or Villages.

Please have a look at the list and let me know if there are any flaws or omissions that you're aware of, even if all you do is check your own Village. It can be seen at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f-Y5-FyfMAgyYZw0dUyaFEGypfXXGTrxUh-TZggaU54/edit?usp=sharing

Also, are there other areas that we should add as unique "entities"? For example, Town Squares, Regional Rec Centers, Preserve areas or other special areas (e.g. Sharon Rose Weichens Preserve, Fenney Nature Trail, Polo Field, Country Clubs?)

Looking forward to everyone's input.

Thanks,

Mark, W8BIT
