OPERATION CROSSTALK is taking place this Sat. May 9th, 0800-1100.
The objective is simple: make as many NVIS contacts as possible during the three-hour window. Operators can work individually or as a group, from a fixed location, a portable setup, or from an EOC. Every contact counts — and the exercise is also a contest, so score matters.
ARES & non-ARES operators in Wyoming & Colorado are welcome to participate and submit a log.
