I do not see how "weak signals" on VHF are any diffrent than
weak signals are on HF or any other band. I work _tons_ of
very very weak guys on HF all the time. I work lots of _very_ weak
stations on the HF bands on random, on dead bands, when you have to be
beaming at them etc. When I do a VHF contest - I use those same skills
to work weak stations. To me Working stations on 2 meters does
not feel much diffrent than working stations on a dead 10 meter band
in the middle of the night.
So I guess I am saying I do not buy the idea that it
is diffrent because it is the VHF bands.
