[VHFcontesting] "Secrets" of VHF contesting

[Eugene Zimmerman]

Not so Jay.

At least for the June contest, the east coast is at a serious DISADVANTAGE.
Es is much better from the midwest and the southwest. In fact were the ARRL
VHF contests not all microwave contests, the east coast could only be
COMPETITIVE one year in five in June, a year when Es is poor. Likewise about
once every 5 years there is midwestern tropo that never crosses the
Appalachian Mountains. During that year the east coast will not win unless
they manufacture contacts on the microwaves.

If you attended the ADVANCED session at Contest University at Dayton in 2008
you heard much of this Webinar. Otherwise you may find it interesting.

There are no secrets. Only things that VHF contesters should do they they
don't.

FYI.

If this is like other webinars, it will be very interesting and informative.

It has also been possible in the past to download a recorded version
afterward to play at your leisure.
