[VHFcontesting] Spirit of the Rules

[frank bechdoldt]

actually my vuac member resigned on the same day of the anouncement. I don't blame him.

The contest is controlled by too few people who do not have the balls to even publish the logs our duespay to process.

To me the spirit is the term encouragement, if my coach encourages me to do one thing and I do another, how long should I be on the team?
