N8OFS/M in SPAR Winter FD Contest entry and IHRAS/RAOTA Activation Award plans
Howdy gang, here is the full details of my N8OFS/M 'killing two birds with one stone' SPAR Winter FD Contest Entry and IHRAS/RAOTA 6 Rest Area Activation Award Plans.
The SPAR Winter FD Contest starts on Saturday January 28 2012 at 1700Z...
Below is the list of Rest Areas I will be activating and the approximate times I will be there... The general rule of thumb is that I will stay at each Rest Area for one hour and move on to the next one... Since I will be /M and due to the always CrAzY winter weather around here, there is NO WAY I can give exact times, but this should be close...
1700Z-1800Z I-71 OH 224 NB Brunswick EN91cf
1815Z-1915Z I-71 OH 224 SB Brunswick EN91cf
1930Z-2030Z I-271 OH 7 NB Richfield EN91de
2045Z-2145Z I-77 OH 141 SB Bath EN91ee
2200Z-2300Z I-77 OH 141 NB Bath EN91ee
2315Z-0015Z I-271 OH 7 SB Richfield EN91df
When I work you, I will have to work you TWICE from each location since the SPAR Winter FD and the IHRAS/RAOTA Rules want two completely different exchanges...
For the SPAR QSO, I need from you your Call, real Signal Report (not just 59), Catagory (which for 99% of you will be "1H"), and the current Outdoor Temperature...
Then for the IHRAS/RAOTA QSO, I need from you your Call, Name, Location (City, State, and 6 character Grid Square if you know it), and IHRAS# if you have one... I need 5 QSOs per Rest Area to successfully Activate it for the Awards...

I as always will be on 6 Meters only including all the local 6 Meter /Repeaters... Both the SPAR Contest and the IHRAS/RAOTA Awards allow the use of /Repeaters, so every local /Repeater I can hit, I will use... And 52.525FM Simplex of course... So here's the list of 6 Meter /Repeaters and the order that I will call [with colour commentary]...
52.525
