   Clark County ARC contacted us to let us know they were planning to have a Two Meter contest in June and wanted some of the other Clubs in the Portland area to have contest about the same time and about one week apart.
   The current idea is to do this two or three times a year to have fun and improve our emergency communications skills.
    I think this is a great Idea! But we need someone to head it up for the Portland Amateur Radio Club.. Any Volunteers?
    The general outline of the contest is shown below. Lets not make it too difficult a job, lets use the same rules and procedures as Clark County and have it about the same general time.
    If you would like to give it a try contact me at
