Guys-
Who makes the rules for FD? is it the CAC?
Reason I'm asking this, is to try to find out why they removed the VHF
station from class 1A a few years ago.
Here are my thoughts on allowing 1A to regain the VHF station: Our club,
like many others is aging. Getting guys out to set up ( and operate) a full
blown 2A station is really getting tough these days. In order to be
competitive ( we ALL like to do well! ), you need to set up 4 stations for a 2A
effort. GOTA, VHF, and 2 HF. That takes a heck of a commitment.
You say, well, just do a 1A effort? Sure, then you have a folks getting
bored sitting around.
If the ARRL let the 1A class use either a GOTA, or a VHF station, that
would really increase participation, or, am I dreaming?
All in all, WHY did they remove it? Seems like a dumb idea to me!
