[VHFcontesting] NEW ARRL "222 MHz and Up Distance Contest" rules are now on the ARRL web

[Bart Jahnke]

Hi Peter,

Keep a head of steam going on your array!

Yes, the contest exchange is each station's 6-digit grid locator.

Like today, Rovers can recontact band stations worked earlier once
they move to a different 4-digit grid.
