Hi Bill,

Nice to see you're still around!  How have you been?

It seems the contesting community in general doesn't put much attention on
VHF contesting.  I haven't seen summaries of posted results for a VHF
contest on the cq-contest reflector for some time.

I'm an avid contester on all bands.  Our multi-single operation W9SZ won
9-land in CQWW CW this year.  But I particularly like VHF/UHF contesting.
I'd really like to see more people active.  This area (east central
Illinois, EN50) is somewhat of a desert for bands above 144 MHz.
