Tim (and all), I believe the CQ WW VHF has (always?) been the THIRD full weekend in July which would be the 17th and 18th in 2004 and, if correct, is the weekend before this year's CSVHFS conference.
Hey Gang, Rather than PREVENTING Grid Circling/Pack Roving by implementing a Post Contest PENALTY for these practices...how about a scoring provision that reduces or removes the Reward (score) for re
INSANE. VHF I absolutely agree with this. Why should a station only get one point for working a rover? Why would anyone bother responding to the CQ of a rover during a six meter band opening when the
LOTS of 'consumer' products use 433.92 MHz...while that is a 'fair' distance away (1.82 MHz) from the home of weak signal work in the 70 cm Band, I'm surprised we haven't seen MORE problems with 'int

And I remember Dan Henderson from 'da Leeg' saying it was primarily a matter of 'economics' i.e the cost/value of a printed page in QST. Would the VHF Contest Community (individuals, clubs, others) p
These antennas may already exist! LOG-PERIODIC antennas all elements in the same plane...probably very close to a "TH-6DXX for VHF." 50 through 1296 MHz possible on booms as short as 7 feet...soethin
Depends on how you define "results". Quite frankly...I find it easier to be able to go to the web and find the "results" of an ARRL sponsored contest...the SAME as ARE printed in QST and, IF I go to

Thanks to Curt, K9AKS, sharing his compilation of September VHF Contest results from 1983-1998 with me and some digging of my own to fill in some information for 1999-2001, I can now provide an updat
