[VHFcontesting] rules

[aa4zz at aol.com]

Perhaps this change would be a good time to review the General Rules and see if some of them should be altered for VHF. It seems that often the issues that arise are with the general rules not the?VHF Rules and have to do with rules that mainly make sense in the HF world.

My understanding is that part of the reforms in contest coverage/promotion 
that have already begun (see the February, 2008 QST) within the ARRL Contest
Branch will be to do just that.  The rules were originally split into three 
parts (General, HF/VHF, contest-specific) mainly to save page space in QST,
and there's no reason to do that in the web presentation of the rules.  I 
think it will be real soon now that the Contest Branch web site will start
displaying the rules for a contest in their entirety in one document.
