I would be glad to help run the OU station for many hours during this event. (hopefully with the help of some students). Should we end the event before the games though to avoid losing participation while people are watching on TV? I would certainly prefer to watch the game over operating the radio. Perhaps we can start X hours before the game, and stop counting contacts at kickoff would be my suggestion. I could put together a nice QSL card, but I have questions about permissions to use all the University logos.....? Has anyone gone down that road before? Is it fair use of their official logos since we aren't for-profit? .... and we have to reveal the winning school club that made the most contacts right? This is the playoffs after all!

I have sent notes to both Ohio State and Clemson. Ohio State is a probable yes, but no word from Clemson yet. To do the log checking, we each keep a log in ADI format or as a spreadsheet. It is fairly easy for me to take each one, convert it to a spreadsheet and grab all the calls that are common to both (or more) logs. What I was thinking is that we could operate from morning until after the two bowl games are over. (5PM CST Peach, 9PM CST Fiesta) To contact you from Baton Rouge is going to likely need 40m or 80m. I am just throwing out ideas, so feel free to toss some in. I know we can get this publicized by the ARRL Collegiate Initiative. I also belong to a couple of ham organizations that I can send notices to. I am not sure we could get it announced in the ARRL weekly letter. -- Dr. Dana A.
