Classes:  Stations will be classified as either Single Op or Rover. A
portable or mobile station that operates from only one grid is considered a
Single Op station.  A Rover must operate from at least 2 grid squares. All
legal modes are welcome!

Maybe we should declare regional get on-the-air times that are coincident
with the existing daily FT-8 windows in NTX & STX (if you don’t enjoy
listening to white noise until 11 PM)?
For example:
– 144.174 MHz, Monday the 6th – starting around 7PM to 8PM?

– 222.174 MHz, Tuesday the 14th – starting around 7PM to 8PM?

– 432.174 MHz, Wednesday the 22nd – starting around 7PM to 8PM?

– 902 MHz and up – ?? times (between 8 AM and the 2 PM cutoff on May 2nd)
>>>This might be a good fill-in for the cancelled monthly Saturday meetings?
– Suggestions? – Comments?

Not to ignore the analog modes within the local 7 – 11 PM local times.
