If I may weigh in on this, I would like a longer event at least once in a while. Twice I have been unable to participate due to south Florida thunderstorms (with the usual lightning). A longer event

I forgot to mention in the RG #12 notice posted earlier... We will be using alpha-numeric groups for this event. Previous events used alpha characters only. If you hand write your copied groups (for

Re: Which event type(s) do you prefer?

Hi Vern, Longer events would definitely not have a 25 or 10 group limit. A longer event is not out of the question but I think we'll stick with the 2-hour format for a while, at least until there are

Revised Procedure for Multiple Same-band Contacts [was RG operating procedures and joining teams]
