I think the beginning of a new year might be a good time to remind members about the availability of this chat room for real-time coordination of QSOs.

I see quite a few instances on our 070 Club Group email list of “I’m trying 30 meters now”, “Don’t see you”, “Shifting to 15 meters now”, “Saw you and tried to reply but it didn’t work”, etc.  These messages may be useful for the members that receive each e-mail to the group individually and get instant alerts; however, some (many?) of us elect to reduce our e-mail inbox by getting only a daily summary, in which case the “here’s what I’m doing now” messages are overcome by events.   It would be appropriate to put immediate messages in the chat room (only) and reserve the 070 Club Group email list for longer term issues like contest information, questions, new member announcements, etc.

Just a suggestion.
