Again, you have this wierd idea that the "personnel at the ARRL" know
nothing about VHF or VHF contesting. I dare say K1JX has won a lot more
VHF contests than you have, KM0T and W5ZN are much higher than you in the
VHF+ standings, and W3ZZ knows a whole lot more than you about how to
manage a contest and how people try to cheat at them. As I said in a
previous post, the ARRL personnel you are abusing _are_ serious VHF
operators and they _do_ know a thing or two about VHF weak signal
operation. Why do you keep wanting to convince people otherwise?

I suggest that you engage yourself in this exercise and report back your
findings to the reflector.
