This is not true.
Posting stuff like this doesn't help build activity and if you can't
do something to boost activity you should not post it at all. Just
silently go do whatever else it was you are going to do instead of
contesting and let the rest of us keep up our activities.
Contrary to statements like this, VHF+ contest log submissions are on
the rise overall and in my area at least, I feel activity is getting
higher not lower. Please keep your false rumors of VHF+ contesting
demise to yourself.
To others who read this, please, do come contesting with us and
ignore the trolls who suggest you do otherwise.
Thanks,
Eric - kr0ver/r

People are not getting on out here, not because of the football games,
but because they just dont care about VHF contests.
