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

[Bob, W3IDT]

Gator,

Thanks for commenting.
Casual ops on digi only will not cause you any dups on SSB or CW.

The intent of the 3 different mode contacts per band is simply to 
increase activity. As you know, without a major Eskip opening on 6m (or 
Tropo on 2m), it can get very lonely especially on Sunday afternoon.

If a station I worked on, say, CW, earlier in the contest calls me on 
SSB, "<Call> FN00" is all I need to say. And, maybe, "thanks for waking 
me up".

Bob, w3idt
6m at W3SO
