[VHFcontesting] JUNE/JULY VHF Contest Proposal and Operating Protocol

Hello Folks:

So if I do not wish to participate in the "Contest with in a Contest", 
I'm still stuck with wasting my time possibly working two dupes each on 
6M and 2M, and one dupe per band on 222 and up? C'mon....why encourage 
loading up participant's logs with dupes?

Everyone needs to realize the digital genie is out of the bottle, and 
many people, especially a number of casual participants who used to fill 
our logs on SSB/CW, will now have to be worked on digital modes or not 
at all, cuz they ain't gonna do SSB/CW.    We may not like it, but that 
is the way it is.

1. Permit multiple contacts, in different modes, per band; specifically
A. THREE contacts on 6m and 2m:
      one CW-only (in the CW-only portions 50.0-50.1 and 144.0-144.1)
      one FM, SSB, or mixed, and
      one any form of digital;
B. TWO contacts on the higher bands
      one CW, FM, SSB, or mixed, and
      one any form of digital.
