[VHFcontesting] getting rid of 6 meters

[John AA5JG]

Heck, in many parts of the country (like SW Oklahoma) you are lucky to find someone on 432 to work, much less the microwave bands. Removing 6m from the June contest would probably kill the contest, and at the same time, we are agonizing over how to increase participation, not lower it.
