No one has mentioned an aspect of CU2QSO use in VHF contests that I suspect was a significant motivation -- quite possibly the chief motivation -- for developing the CU2QSO mode in the first place. I
Amen. CU2QSO has been vastly more significant for its contribution to bandwidth on this reflector than it has been in any VHF contest. There are much better ways to add to the potential of one's VHF

Ron, and all -- Yes, the VUAC is an *Advisory* committee. No, it does not directly advise any salaried employees of the League. The VUAC was created by the ARRL Board of Directors. Directors are elec
I know this doesn't apply to most subscribers on this reflector ... but for those who are active on EME and care about EME contest rules: The ARRL's VHF/UHF Advisory Committee (VUAC) is reviewing the
Hi Terry and all, Bravo! I approve, and will be happy to join such an effort to promote openness in contesting. One caution that may not occur immediately to everyone: if public posting of logs is to
