[VHFcontesting] 432 during UHF contest

[crawfish]

Reminding me of our local club in AL years ago. They hated VHF on Field Day,
so I operated with another club.They had misgivings but when I made 1/2 of
the FD contacts of the club on 6m with 50 watts and a 3-el., they took
notice. Of course, this was 1979 when the sunspot cycle was up. If the
signals aren't loud, the newbies don't hang around. I guess all those years
with substandard gear on CW got me used to weak signals.
