Thats why I published the VHF Directory in the 90s as no one knew who to
look for in order to work new grids on 2M MS.
Its a healthy task when none of the log data was available online as all we
had then was Email.
A modern directory project is long overdue. You could start by asking folks
to tak an automated online survey and augment that with log, Slack, DX
Maps, and other sources.
Its a huge task. Who is up for it? Certainly not me after my last car crsh
as I am not who I once was. Is anyone up to the task?
Anyone?
