Re: [VHFcontesting] Field Day Band Changes

The answer to your question is embedded below.  From http://www.arrl.org | 
Operating Activities | Contests | Rules | General Rules . . .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Precedence of Rules:

1.1. Rules for individual contests or events, including Field Day, take 
precedence over all General Rules.

1.2. General Rules for HF and VHF contests take precedence over General Rules 
for all contests.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, to find your answer, you must first know "The General Rules" for all 
contests (http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-all.html).  These are 
the "foundational" rules for all ARRL on-air contests (and contest-like activities).

Next, you must abide by "Field Day" rules (http://www.arrl.org/contests/forms/).

There are many nuances to Field Day that you should know about (and can take 
advantage of) as compared to VHF-only contests.

According to the phrasing of the "Prescedence of Rules" above, these are the 
only two layers of rules that apply, since Field Day is not considered a contest.

ARRL Representatives are requested to correct me if I am wrong.
