As an aside, the committee Kermit leads is a sub-committee of PSC, so any final recommendations will obviously come across our desk when appropriate. Their upcoming (and future) outreach effort will be to float ideas, identify legitimate concerns, and develop buy-in within the VHF+ contesting community. 73, Brian N5ZGT On Nov 12 2014 10:08 AM, Kermit Carlson via arrl-odv wrote:
Hello All;
Please find attached a copy of the first request for input from the VHF/UHF Contest Community for proposed changes to the ARRL VHF/UHF Contest Rules. This letter represents a consensus of the PSC Sub-Committee that is comprised of; Joel Harrison, W5ZN; Doug Rehman, K4AC;
Marty Woll, N6VI; Dave Patton, NN1N; and myself, W9XA.
Please note that the proposed changes would apply only to VHF/UHF contests. Also the request for input is NOT a call for a straw vote, but rather a request for well considered independent comments from the VHF and above contesting community.
I do know that for many the ideas embodied in these proposals run counter to what many may see as hard fast ideals in HF contesting; but it is the consensus of this Committee that these proposed changes would enhance the overall participation by the VHF and above community and will be received as a positive step for contesting on the higher bands.
I ask that any Director, Vice-Director or Officer that receives any input please direct the commenting party to the email address given in the attached letter; vhf-input@arrl.org
Humbly submitted on behalf of the Committee,
73, Kermit A Carlson W9XA VHF/UHF Contest Revitalization Sub-Committee Chair Central Division Vicedirector
