Tor - One can enter 6M only in the CQ WW VHF contest. Lots of guys do it. It is one of the reasons the contest is so popular. The only real drawback to this is that Es is on the downswing when the co

It looks like the ARRL BOD approved the Ad Hoc Committee's recommendations for Rules Changes pretty much verbatim effective with the June contest. Apparently the proposed new rules enjoyed strong sup

The ARRL VHF contests have a schizophrenic approach towards microwave activity. With the one hand, they seem to want to encourage microwave activity by awarding higher QSO points for the higher bands

One geographic advantage that those in northern latitudes enjoy could be easily leveled by normalizing raw scores: normalized score = raw score/(1+cos(latitude)) This would take of the smaller east-w

Chuck - There is a subtle point with not so subtle consequences here. KK6MC/r and KK6MC are not the same call and you could, in principle, have a busted QSO if you log KK6MC/r as KK6MC. As a rover, K

The rule says that you have to log the call that is sent. KK6MC/r is not the same as KK6MC. Adding /r does change your call for contesting purposes. That is the whole point of adding the /r. Can you
