[VHFcontesting] Improving the odds of winning

[Bill Burgess]

Stated earlier by me was a comment about dropping laser to increase the activity on bands below it. Continuing on a similar vein, I think it would be very beneficial to have one of the three VHF contests stop at 5.7 Ghz.  This may increase activity on 5.7 Ghz which many know needs more on it.  It also will give those with bands only below 10 Ghz a better chance of  getting in with the top scorers.
Those stopping at 3.4 can either go for 5.7 gear, or beef up their 3.4 station for greater odx.  In VE3, presently we only have VE3SMA active on 5.7 Ghz primarily as a Rover, and no base station presently using that band.  

Comments please.
