Hi all
I saw a message from Scott VK4CZ in the VK3 groups.io site discussing the need to coordinate MAD's in VK4.
He included a draft calendar (attached) that places a MAD in roughly the months that don't already have a VHF/UHF contest.
I don't really enjoy contesting but I do like the activity it used to generate here in VK5.
Would anyone be interested in operating on scheduled MAD's and if so, should we adopt a similar approach of scheduling a year in advance?
I think it makes sense to adopt where possible, the same days as VK3 and VK4 so that the hype, publicity and reminders are all relevant to us.

I'd really appreciate any input that can help promote uWave activity in VK

Cheers
John VK5OI
