The date for the January VHF contest is shown as "will generally be the third or fourth weekend in January"

The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) is the national association for amateur radio, connecting hams around the U.S. with news, information and resources.





I'm just curious is there a historical reason why there is not a fixed date for this contest ?  I expect I'll be asked this question at a presentation I am giving regarding contesting.   Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks
