I was not being a troll, and this certainly is true for this location
(as I qualified multiple times!). I was pointing out an obvious fact.
I am one of the few hams in the SF Bay Area that was on.
I am truly hoping people's ideas about changes in the contest may
help, (such as the new FM only category). And I enjoy the discussions.
I am just saying , I suspect changing the date will have no effect
here. (HERE)
(My opinion/local observations should not make people angry. Actually
I dont even think you read my email fully before you hit reply... Was
I suggesting people should not get on? No, I was sad they were not
getting on.... I want people to get on... PLEASE PEOPLE GET ON! oops
everyone here is already interested in VHF contests, I think we need
to increase interest from outside our ranks as well as encourage each
other to get on as well)
