[VHFcontesting] vhf/uhf activity

[Zack Widup]

I wonder how many Techs are active on VHF+ weak-signal modes? Most of the 
people I work have General or Extra licenses.

I am active on all HF bands as well as VHF+.  And I have a lowfer antenna 
in the yard now, too. 

I've been working on adding a new band: I should have the 24 GHz 
transverter done in a month. I have a feeling building gear for the bands 
above that is not for the faint of heart.

Yes many will get a multi mode rig but I fear that the lure of HF will decrease the numbers that we have today.  I am hoping that with the rules committee that is now in progress makes the right changes that will keep these guys here on vhf/uhf.  But at the same time Enjoy HF.
