[VHFcontesting] Thanks for changing the weekend for VHF Contest

[James Duffey]

Bart - This is great news! I think club participation should pick up without the conflict with the CQ WW 160 contest and the chances for late season Es is a lot better. Still not good for Es, but a lot better.

Has anyone at the contest branch considered swapping the weekend dates for the January VHF and the RTTY contest? That would place the VHF contest much earlier, with much better chances of Es. Thanks - Duffey KK6MC?
