Ev, I like both ideas, especially the All-band VHF Sprint which is an idea that came up a couple of times during the recent brain storming that took place secondary to the decrease in activity posts.
In that case, maybe NCJ would be a better sponsor for a VHF All Band Sprint instead of ARRL. Even though I think the emphasis here is to get ARRL at this level on a larger scale. 73, Ed K3DNE
