[CQ-Contest] Ve8 Mult

[N4ZR]

Do we know whether the new VY1s are permanent/semi-permanent residents 
in NT?  It strikes me that an actively supportive attitude on our part 
down here could foster a couple of enthusiastic contesters. 
Alternatively, complaining about their S&Ping, coupled with the chaos of 
the pileups we heard on the weekend, could turn them off SS and 
contesting before they really get started.
