[VHFcontesting] Contest Modes [was:Vhf com. members]

[Zack Widup]

That would be fun. Right now I'm having problems with sufficient LO 
stability on microwave bands to be able to use the digital modes on those 
bands.

I'm trying out several PLL schemes to give me better LO stability up 
there. Unfortunately it means carrying around a bit more equipment when 
portable. OCXO's and extra PLL boards do add on weight when you have 10 or 
more bands ...
