[VHFcontesting] Contest Tweaks?

[KA6AMD]

My 2 cents on this is that there needs to be a little more differentiation 
for the higher frequencies.  While six often has poor local propagation, it 
still has a much better possibility to open up for long distances.  Here is 
my tweak to the scoring:

6M,  2M, & 432          1 point              Easy to get on out of the box 
these days
222, 902 & 1296         2 points             More of a challenge to get on & 
reward to increase activity
2304 - 10 GHz             3 points            Still a technical challenge; 
propagation not limited by atmospheric absorbsion
24 GHz - 100 GHz      4 points             Path loss a real challenge & 
equipment is really fussy
100 GHz +                   5 points            Here's where the real 
pioneers hang out

The object is to get people to move to less popular bands and take on more 
of a technical and operating challenge.  (Now I have to find time to put 
together that 10GHz transverter with a new baby arriving in June.)
