Grid circling requires one?Rover to activate and then reactivate many grids in a short period of time. Gird circling can be prevented by slowing or limiting grid reactivation. There would be several
In the past I have used a Microwave Moddules 144 to 28mhz?transveter to drive a Microwave modules 28 to 222 mhz xvtr. It worked great and let me use my 144 mhz rig on 222 mhz. I've still go the Micro
Usually CQ publishes all their contest results at the same time they are promoting that same contest for the next year. So if they do that it will be several months away. Paul AA4ZZ Usually in Februa
Malcolm's point may be valid in? Europe. In the states the VUCC card checker is looking for a 4 Digit grid on the card to match with a list of 4 digit grids. The important thing is to have the 4 digi
I?have a ?TS-2000Xs and am?a member?of 2 TS-2000 reflectors. I've never heard about 902mhz capabiltity for this radio. What is the source of your info? Could you be thinking of the 1296 capability of
The Europeans do distance scoring in many of their VHF contests so one could look there for ideas. However, the European VHF community is very familiar with six digit grids and their?distance scoring

Contesters should have the chioce to run whever they need to go to make contacts. 73 Paul AA4ZZ Do we need a rules change to force contest operations to one frequency segment or the other. Has someon
This must be why the current UK? VHF contest rules do no allow EME. 73 Paul AA4ZZ Hello Marshall, I worked a European station on 144 CW back in the mid 70's during a European contest that used distan
The only way to fix it is to explicitly prohibit grid-circling in limited rover and "classic" rover categories. This is correct and I and others pointed it out years ago. There are two ways to prohib
I've often thought that a set of shorter 144, 222 and 432 yagis on one boom with higher band in front of the lower would look to the average person a lot like a LPA yet have much better perfomance. P
That is correct. My understanding is that there is minimal interaction this way. (It also helps it look like an LPA). I was thinking about separate feedlines but if one feedline were necessary one c
During constests on 222 MHz hear a lot of guys out several hundred miles (mostly 2's and 3's) who are in such a hurry running the bands with a local that they miss working me in EM96. When running th

The petitioner seems to be unaware that there are some digital stations currently using channel 4 and that channel 4 remains allocated to televsion broadcasting in the US. I'd love a US 4 meter band
Jay's comments point out what a different world VHF Contesting is from HF Contesting. As such the answer to such an issue like assistance might be different in each world. Too often in the past the V
The AA4ZZ team will be on from their mountaintop QTH in EM96 with KW and stacked beams on 50, 144 ,222 and 432. Look for us. 73 Paul AA4ZZ P.S. Northeast and Midwest stations please listen for a seco
CQVHF actually thought of how VHF operations occur when developing new rules. Instead they should always refer to the gold standard of HF contest rules. If they needed new rules they could have looke
