Hello,

My name is Geoffrey Mark - call sign KM6TVJ.  I am writing to you
because I am looking for ham radio operators within grid square DM04 to
help me develop a new kind of contest.  One designed for all hams, but
especially brand new hams using low cost HT's.

I designed this contest to show that hams working together could send a
message across America, using only 5w HT's and no repeaters or
internet.  The idea is that each one would hear a verbal message and
send it on with as much accuracy as possible.  So - using good mic
techniques, holding their HT vertical - the basics.  All those basics
will count in this contest!  I call it "HT's Across America."

Here's a link to more information about me and the contest.

I would like to ask you to tell your membership about this experimental
contest.  The more hams involved, the more likely it is to work.  Also -
I am still developing the rules and parameters for this contest, so the
more input I receive, the better.

Feel free to forward this email, with my email address and link to that
web page, to any ham that might be interested.

Thank you and 73,
Geoffrey
