>This is a reminder that the CQ Worldwide VHF Contest is coming up July 19 
>-20 [1800Z Saturday to 2100Z Sunday].  This is a 6- and 2-meter contest 
>only...so multi-band VHF/UHF capability is not needed to compete.  You 
>will find the rules in the June issue of CQ Magazine and on the CQ 
>website:  www.cq-amateur-radio.com.
>
>The categories are single-op all-band, single-op single-band, single-op 
>QRP [all-band], multi-op, and rover.  This year on a trial basis, we have 
>introduced the "Hilltopper QRP" category:  QRP [<10 watts] portable 
>6-hours continuous only from a great location...such as backpacking or 
>driving to rare grid locations where you don't have to contend with 
>staying overnight and packing heavy hardware.  See p. 14, June CQ.
>
>We've done significant overseas promotion so we are expecting more DX 
>participation.
>
>Those of you who have HF+ radios should find this an enjoyable contest, 
>perhaps your first on VHF.  We're looking for "Rookie" entries and 
>"Elmers" to assist and encourage "newbies" to enter the fun world of VHF 
>contesting.
>
>All scores are reported in the results in CQ Magazine and certificates to 
>top scoring stations.
>
>The contest is now Cabrillo supported with electronic submission to 
>cqvhf at cqww.com.  See the CQ website for paper log submission.  Any 
>questions go to vhf-querstions at cqww.com.
>
>See you all in the CQ WW VHF Contest...and have fun!  73,
