[VHFcontesting] 2024 CQWW VHF Results availalbe

[Tony Contratto]

While I can appreciate that this a world wide event, a quick look at the past entry statistics on the website suggests that roughly 50+ percent of the submitted logs are still from the US.  Personally, I’m for experimenting with things that may improve the SSB/CW activity in VHF contests.  But placing this new SSB/CW contest on 4th of July weekend and expecting that to *increase* participation seems very optimistic to me.  That was a poor date choice in my opinion.

As a rover (I’m obviously biased here), any serious effort in a VHF contest is a full weekend plus commitment.  It may be different for fixed stations and/or the casual operator, but personally this has me deciding if I want to participate at all.

Just my 2c…
