[VHFcontesting] distance contest

[Jim Worsham]

Let me just set a couple of things straight here.  First, there is a Contest
Advisory Committee (CAC) that is responsible for the HF contest rules.
Since we are talking about VHF contests here they are not part of this
discussion.  There is also a VHF UHF Advisory Committee (VUAC) that is
responsible for VHF and up contest rules.  You are completely incorrect in
your statement that the VUAC only acts at the request of the ARRL BoD.
Certainly the BoD is one source of input but we have many others including
right here on this reflector.  Of the dozen or so issues that the VUAC has
looked at over the past few years I recall only one originating with the
BoD.  All of the others were the result of input from you, the active VHF
and up contester.  Again, I just wanted to get the facts straight on that.

 There is still a Contest Advisory Committee, but they are treated like
children by the Board of Directors: they are to talk only when they are
asked to speak.? They are not allowed to initiate ideas.? They can only
discuss ideas at the request of the BOD.

If the BOD were to decide to have a distance based alternative scoring
system, they would likely first ask the CAC or VUAC (is that still around?)
to study the idea, and report back.

There used to be a Contest Advisory Committee (CAC)  I have not heard from
them in a long time so maybe it was disbanded.
