Dear Fellow Club Members and Operators, let's work each other during the Jan VHF Contest


Sign up to Receive (1) Short Message when I Reach my Grid During the Jan 2025 VHF Contest


In order to provide a quick update strictly for VHF Contest use only, I have established a one time text message notification of my updated Grid Location. You will only receive one short text from me once I am operational at a new grid during the contest period only.  This is not a group text program, you will only receive one text from me at each location, you can also opt out from all messages.
