>Once again, listed below is the information for VHF Fall Sprints.  The
>first, 2 meter sprint, is this Monday the 17th.  I encourage everyone to
>participate and submit a log even if you have just a couple of Qs.  The
>participation has been falling off since the Southeastern VHF Society
>revived this a couple of years ago.  There was serious discussion within the
>society about not continuing to sponsor this event due to the lack of
>participation/logs submitted last year.  It is a LOT of work and you need to
>show us that this is something the VHF/UHF/Microwave weak signal community
>wants and appreciates.
