[VHFcontesting] WTX roving part 2 - Now VHF committee stuff.

[Mike King - KM0T]

There has been no official conversation or email discussion on changing the 
idea of elimination of the bands bove 1.2 Ghz from the June contest to the 
January contest.  If there is, then I am not in the loop anymore.

In fact, the elimination of utilizing the bands above 1.2 Ghz was 
specifically NOT proposed to the MSC.  It was observed by the VHF 
subcommittee chair and members that the input received on this 
recommendation was such that it needed further review.

If you want my personal opionion on this, take a guess.  I operate up thru 
24 ghz, and the equipment dont get used enough.

I suggest that everyone review the final memo to the reflectors from Tom - 
K1KI.  It is dated somewhere around mid July of this year.  It lays out all 
the info that everyone should base their comments on.  It will be less 
confusing for all wondering what is really going on and should eliminate any 
"he said she said" types of comments going around the reflector.

If I hear anything "official", I will sure let anyone know what I hear.  If 
you hear anything "official", please let me know, I sure dont want to be the 
last to know :)

As far as the comments being heard as one member's impressions, I have no 
idea as I was not there and this is the first I ever heard about this 
change.

Not sure I answered any of your questions to your satisfaction, please let 
me know.
