<font face="Arial">I have tried to get some of the LCC members
interested in VHF contesting. Ted-KN5O, has shown a lot of
interest and has contested here at the K5QE contest station many
times. <br>
<br>
Now I see that several LCC members have submitted their scores in
the CQ WW VHF contest. That is great!! I am happy to see the
interest and the activity.<br>
<br>
Am I inside of the LCC "contest circle"?? I don't know where you
have put the pin for the LCC group. I am in EM31cj. <br>
<br>
I would love to see more activity on VHF from LA. If any of you
are interested, we are always in need of good ops here. This time
we had to run the entire contest with 4 operators. That is a bit
short and we only had to cover 2 bands!! We have a bunk room here
with 6 beds and Bill-N5YA has 8 beds at his HF contest shack, so
once you get here, there will not be expensive motel rooms to
drain the budget. Actually, gas would be your primary
expense......and we feed good....maybe too good.<br>
<br>
Maybe there is some room for exploration here. If LCC as a group
is not interested in VHF contesting, then maybe a few individuals
might be interested in participating.....whatever works.<br>
<br>
The ball is in your court.....<br>
