Yeah but VHF is not HF. I figgered you'd know that by now. In some past
years I've only had a dozen people to work in that one. It's not worth
going out with 10 bands in the middle of winter, taking over 2 hours to
set up everything and then having to tear everything down, possibly in a
blizzard or ice storm. I wouldn't bother. That is a sure way to kill a
contest.
OTOH maybe it should just be a single band contest. Make it 2m only. I
could avoid a lot of frostbite setting up a single 2m beam on a hilltop
