[VHFcontesting] Question to the group

[w8zn54 at verizon.net]

Does anyone feel that giving extra points for 2.3G and up has out lived it's usefulness? You can order a complete high quality transverter system from DEMI or DB6NT and it's easier to work folks on 10GHz in the 10GHz contest than trying to catch them on 2m!!! It just seems that adding another band which automatically gives you more Q's and grids is enough of a bonus. When getting on the microwaves required an engineering degree and $20K in test equipment, I would agree but now it just seems a relic.
 
Thoughts?
