> 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,
