Hi Everyone,
I just completed the latest set of updates for the Rover Resource Page,
http://www.qsl.net/n9rla All of the plans I have received are currently on
the site.
Last call for plans for the up coming contest! It's almost time. I'll post
as many updates as possible in the next few days, so be sure re-check the
lists before contest time.
It should be a nice contest this year. I haven't received a lot of plans
from single op stations. But all of the usual suspects are present from the
multi category, and a huge turnout of Rovers for a January contest!
Good luck to all, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Hello Folks,
Believe it or not, as a couple of folks have recently pointed out to me, the
January VHF Sweepstakes is rapidly approaching! Hard to believe it's
already time for the January contest!
Anyway, I will once again be gathering contest plans and posting them on The
Rover Resource Page as a service to VHF contesters everywhere. If you plan
to be on in the contest, even for a "casual" effort, send me an email and
I'll post your plans to help others find you.
Be sure in your email to include:
1) The call you plan to use. This sounds obvious, but with multi's and
Rovers and clubs, it's often hard to tell.
2) The grid, or grids, you plan to activate.
3) The bands you plan to be active on.
4) Your category. i.e. Multi op/Single op/Rover, etc...
5) And any other station information you care to share with everyone
else:-) Rigs, Antennas, power out, times you will be on, etc...
Send me what you can, as soon as you can, and I'll post the plans. And be
sure to check out the plans posted on the web site for stations that will be
on in your area.
And by the way, if you haven't tried VHF contesting yet, I really encourage
you to give it a try. VHF contesting has a whole different atmosphere than
HF contesting. Sure, everyone still wants to make as many contacts and as
many points as possible, but most folks will spend whatever time is
necessary to make a contact with you on every band that they can. VHF
contesting is just a lot more "laid back" than HF. Try it, it's fun!
