[VHFcontesting] Yes -- Please Move the January Contest

[Tom Haavisto]

I am a relative newbie to VHF contesting, so no problem moving it as
far as I am concerned.

HOWEVER - take a look at the contest calender.

First weekend - ARRL RTTY Roundup
Second weekend - ARRL NAQP CW
Third weekend - ARRL NAQP SSB
Fourth weekend - CQ 160 CW

Keeping in it January means sharing with a major contest.  Making it
the fourth weekend means sharing with the CQ 160 contest, and I think
the hard core contesters have already shown where their loyalties lie.

I don't follow professional sports - I prefer RADIO sport :-)
