I talked to Dan-N5TM the Slack guru....he says there is an E-skip
channel there right now. We could certainly use that IF everyone would
actually use it....The idea is if you hear an Es opening, post something
to the reflector so the ones clicking away on FTx would know about the
opening and get on.

How about an online poll to determine which reflector is the most popular?

Hello Tom and everyone else interested in VHF contesting....
We need a reflector that can be used for contesting in real time. The PingJockey
reflector is great for meteor scatter and such. Maybe something on the Slack system
would work....any ideas?? I think that Dan-N5TM is the "owner" of the VHF
Slack channels, maybe he has some ideas....

Marshall,
I agree on the top and bottom of the hour for ssb/cw. Jim, K8JH and I tried
that as much as we could when we were in EN67.
The Slack channel "rover-raregrid" seems to have taken off very well.
Compared to even 10 years ago, there are a lot more folks putting on the grids.
I still am in amazement as to how Fred Fish did it.

Hello Gerry....In our area, I have been pushing the following idea: Stations
should check for SSB or CW at the top and bottom of the hour. IF some Es
exists then work it!! ... as long as possible. If the Es fades, then back to
FT8 or FT4. If you think this idea has merit, please champion this method up
in your area.
Another idea: if a big Es opening happens, post that information on the reflectors. The
problem here is that there does not seem to be any reflector that is
"universally" used for something like this. Any suggestions??
