[VHFcontesting] Contest date change

[Eric Watkins]

This is not true.

Posting stuff like this doesn't help build activity and if you can't 
do something to boost activity you should not post it at all. Just 
silently go do whatever else it was you are going to do instead of 
contesting and let the rest of us keep up our activities.

Contrary to statements like this, VHF+ contest log submissions are on 
the rise overall and in my area at least, I feel activity is getting 
higher not lower. Please keep your false rumors of VHF+ contesting 
demise to yourself.

To others who read this, please, do come contesting with us and 
ignore the trolls who suggest you do otherwise.

Thanks,

Eric - kr0ver/r
