Mike,
Thank you. I will work on getting more peopleinvolved. Lots of folks to talk
with, most wondered what I was doing and where I was at. Around 100 casual
QSO's but only 12 or 13 who knew there was a contest and werewilling to submit
logs and I had to coach about half of them on what a gridsquare was and how to
submit a Cabrillo format log.
73, John, KM4KMU

Sounds like you have a good start. For years I've been trying to push
FM contesting around here as well.
http://ka5cvh.com/radio/vhf/contest.htm It largely falls on deaf ears,
but my suggestion the biggest thing to change is attitude towards FM
and contesting among "contesters". Its my opinion that not enough
well equipped multi-band / multi-mode contesters seem to ignore FM.
Just my $.02
