[VHFcontesting] Contact your ARRL Representative Today

[Les Rayburn]

Following the sage advice of Paul and others, I sat down and wrote a 
brief letter to my ARRL Division Director (Greg Sarratt, W4OZK who is 
active on VHF), my Vice-Division Director, Section Manager, and
VUAC rep.

In that e-mail, I outlined my concerns about declining participation in 
the January, September, and August contests--and my larger concern about 
the decline of traditional rovers.

I repeated my desire to have the ARRL promote the VHF-UHF Century Club 
Award, and to consider creation of a Five Band VUCC Award to inspire 
others to pursue the
award on multiple bands.

My desire is that the state of VHF UHF Contesting and operation be added 
to the agenda during the July meeting.

Even if you think the rules are fine as is, you should make time to 
write your representatives and let them know your feelings. Make time to 
do it today.
