*Changes to ARRL VHF+ Contest Rules Announced*
The ARRL Programs and Services Committee has approved rule changes to the
ARRL 10 GHz and Up Contest, and the January, June, and September VHF
contests, effective with the 2023 10 GHz and Up Contest, and the 2023
September VHF contest.
In the 10 GHz and Up event, distance point multipliers have been added for
each band as follows: 10 GHz 1x; 24 GHz 2x; 47 GHz 3x; 75 GHz 4x; 122 GHz
and above 5x. For example, an 80 km contact made on 10 GHz would be worth
80 points while the same contact made on 47 GHz would be worth 240 points.
Starting in September, in the January, June, and September VHF contests,
contacts made on 902 Mhz and 1.2 GHz will be allowed for participants in
the FM-Only category. Currently, the category only allows contacts on 50,
144, 222 and 432 MHz. Additionally, there will be changes to the Affiliated
Club Competition scoring for entrants in the Rover categories. For a
Rover's score to be included in their club's score, the entrant must make
contacts from somewhere within the club's territory during the course of
the contest.
Contact the ARRL Contest Program at contests@arrl.org for more information
regarding these changes.
