[VHFcontesting] logging

[Zack Widup]

But what if the other guy wants confirmation? I just can't think only of
myself. I've gotten on the ARRL DX Contest and had people in the USA
repeatedly call me. I had to work them to get them off my frequency. And
they almost always want some sort of confirmation after the contest.

On VHF, you may just happen to be a new grid for someone. If you're not
going to QSL in some form, might as well just stay off the air.
