The eham and contesting.com sites suck and are lame?
You've got to be kidding. I hope so Ev.
Pardon the personal bias here, but just to be very clear, the VHF contesting
list, and it's operation has nothing to do with either web site.
This situation can be resolved by anyone who is inclined to write up an
article. In fact, I recall publishing a couple of articles authored by W2EV on
eHam.net a while back.
Both sites can use input from the community. I'm no longer managing the news
and articles on eHam.net, but am doing so on Contesting.com and would welcome
any input from any contester - VHF or otherwise.
Since I'm only managing contesting.com now, I would like to try to increase the
value of that website and need the contesting community(ies) to help.
