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

[Zack Widup]

I think the question was if a station can be re-contacted from a different
6-character grid, or if it has to move to a different 4-character grid. For
example, if I move from EN50xf to EN50xh, can I be re-contacted for credit?
(I'm pretty sure I know the answer.)
