[VHFcontesting] A few Comments on improving "The World Above 50 MHz"

[VE3DS]

I everyone wants more reporting of activities above 50 Mhz then SEND in REPORTS.
That’s the secret to spreading the word, REPORTING.
If you rely on passive internet data gathering that just isn’t the best.

Support your editor and FEED him info regularly…don’t be shy!

It’s similar to saying the band is dead, but you never call CQ….
