Hi Jack,

Glad you put the smiley on there. 


But, hey, VHF begins at 10 meters! Well... 30 MHz. ARRL could bend perception 
(like it does by including 222 MHz in the UHF contest - UHF begins at 300 MHz) 
and make 28 MHz equivalent to 30 MHz and really get some participation! ;-)

73, Paul K7CW

I suggest taking a look at comments submitted on the 3830 scores web 
page. Depressing things like:

Poor conditions and low participation seemed common. Only rovers were 
mentioned as a bright spot in some posts.

Given the propagation and participation maybe we should consider a VHF 
contest that includes 10-meters. :>)
