[VHFcontesting] Contest Confusion

[Owen Wormser]

One way might be use of all the reflectors from VHF to microwave - and many were used I might add.  It appeared to me, having operated for brief periods Sat afternoon, again that evening, early Sunday AM (early meaning 4am until 7am) I heard no activity on any band except K1DQV calling endless CQ's on 2M.  First real activity I observed here began around 7:30am Sunday - almost no activity Sunday afternoon and only marginal activity Sunday evening.  I am in FM18vr (with 10 bands available).  So, though I don't have an answer to Buddy's question, my thoughts are we have 3 ARRL VHF and up contests each year and it shouldn't be too very difficult to get the word out.  There's an old saying I learned from my Drill Sergeant: tell'm once, tell'm again, then tell'm a third time till it sinks in!  Maybe we need lots of "telling".  My thoughts.  Owen, K3CB
