There seemed to be some concurrence among a few Board members present that there could perhaps be some Club recognition to our highest scoring team and that this could be the start of many future contests and such within the club. As Randy explained, not all contests are HF frequencies. Many of his favorites were VHF. In fact, there are several VHF contests coming up soon that we can get involved in...and, I hear of our own HiDARG contest being developed for this year..all modes, all bands, all licenses...ask me, I'll share :)<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">So, here's the deal:<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">We can have up to five members on a team so we're looking for some more players.

So <b>we need some players</b>. Each member of a team operates from their own station (home/mobile/club trailer/borrowed). No experience needed, just a willingness to jump in and play. Maximum allowed operating time is 10 hours..but, you don't have to play all 10 hrs. If you only have a few here and/or there, that'll work just fine. The idea here is to just have some fun while playing in a contest.
