[VHFcontesting] Changes to ARRL VHF Contest Rules

[Kutzko, Sean, KX9X]

Hi folks-

The ARRL Programs and Services Committee approved the following VUAC's
recommendations to the ARRL VHF Contest program:

1) Limited Rover: Limited Rovers will now be able to enter only on the
four lowest bands for any given ARRL VHF contest. For January, June and
September, this means 6 Meters, 2 Meters, 220 MHz and 432 MHz. For the
August UHF Contest, this means 220 MHz, 432 MHz, 902 MHz and 1.2 GHz.

2) Club Competition is now permitted in the August UHF Contest.

These changes take effect immediately, and have been noted on the ARRL
web site. Stations planning to enter as limited Rover in the 2009 ARRL
June VHF QSO Party should take note.

73,
