[VHFcontesting] The VHF rules....what do we want??

[Paul Decker]

Hi David,

>> I find the disparaging remarks about the CAC and VUAC insulting.

I'm sorry you feel insulted.  

I'm not much of a V/U operator or contester, but I have been subscribed to this board for a few years now and I try to regularly read all the points of view.  One of the things I have noticed as a common thread, at leat on this message board, is that there is a genuine desire to make changes to the rules of ARRL V/U contests.  

The second thing I have noticed is a fairly high level of frustration by the posters on this board with respect to the lack of sincerity or the appearance of such by the ARRL V/U contest governing bodies.  Unfortunately, "appearances" and "disparaging remarks" and tend to be related.

What seems to be lacking is a clear way for the masses, i.e. the participants on this reflector as well as any other V/U operator, to provide positive feedback to the V/U bodies, and to gain a feeling that their comments have been reasonably considered.  I for one would have no idea who or how to provide any feedback on my contest experience, and if I did know, I certainly would want to know my ideas were at least considered and not just filed in the "circular file"
