[VHFcontesting] Re: [VHF] ARRL VHF+ contest proposals: changes needed

[David Hinton]

I like the distance multipliers and I am certainly not a privileged
contester.  Low power station with highest antenna 80 ft above sea level...
making long distance contacts are just more fun.  I don't get many adjacent
grid contacts anyway.  I am the only contester in my grid and probably less
than  a half dozen contesters within a 100 mile radius.
