EVENT RESCHEDULED DUE TO WEATHER TO MAY 7 

save the NEW DATE Saturday May 7th for the Spring Willamette Valley Summit-to-Summit (S2S) party. Showers predicted - take an umbrella and raingear.

We are planning to be ready to go (QRV) by 1830 UTC (11:30am). Post an Alert on https://sotawatch.sota.org.uk/en/ for QRG 146.580-fm with your intended summit on 7/5/2022 with "Willamette Valley S2S Party" in the comment field. If you are not yet sure where you'll be but are planning to join, use W7O/WV-XXX for your intended summit and update as we get closer.

If there are a lot of folks on summits that day, we may have a directed net to maximize the S2S for everyone. For the net, listen for instructions beginning just before 1830 UTC and join the fun! Here's a worksheet with current participants - be sure to save your own copy.
