[VHFcontesting] 2017 VHF and up Spring Sprints Announcement

[Mark Spencer]

Hi I have found FM on 223.5 and 446.0 to be reasonably productive during the sprints.   I seem to recall picking up another grid by using FM in one of the recent Sprints.   I should also put a bit more effort into FM on 2M during the 2M Sprint.

That being said I do agree that the main focus is on SSB / CW.

73
