Hi,
It seems the gatekeeper of surveys doesnt let much through perhaps due to 
bandwidth or just plain bad ideas.

So.....
Here is a survey question or 2 for both groups.

Please check your entry below. If it looks OK, click on the submit button at 
the bottom of the page. If you would like to edit your entry, use your

Question: I am working on a new vhf contest. This poll could be handy as well 
as coments. Would you participate in a distance based vhf contest and do you 
participate in arrl or sprint contests now? 
Answer 1: Yes to both 
Answer 2: Yes arrl or sprints but not interested in distance based contests. 
Answer 3: No arrl or sprints, yes I would do distance based. 
Answer 4: No to both 
Answer 5: Undecided 
Answer 6: 
Answer 7:

I am working on a new vhf contest, this poll could be handy as well as any 
coments. What do you think of rating a stations qso points on the rarity of the 
grid they worked from or worked. Grid exchanges would be done with a 
multiplier at the end of the exchange. The highest multiplier would count for 
both 
stations. IE if New York City contacted Elko NV and Elko NV had a multiplier of 
6 
it would be used for both stations. Then when NYC contacted another NYC 
station the multiplier would be 2 for both. (5 step 2-6 scale) 
Answer 1: Yes 
Answer 2: no 



Last one

What do you think of the idea of being able to work each station at a 
multi-op site seperately?  Ie you can work any ham who comes to the mic. Each 
station 
at the site would still be in the multi-op catagory, would do thier own 
logging bt would share (or we hope) thier equipment.  

yes
no

PS:
Some ideas have fermented over the last few months and maybe I will type up a 
third draft.  
Eric's bus and some of the other peoples opperating habbits came to mind too 
here.  Eric would be a multi-op rover if he had more than 3 hams using 
differn't calls.(IE the rove in) The time consumed with wsjt makes me consider 
the 
long contest.  A spring time meteor shower week would be good for cabin fevor 
or 
late summer for mountain topping.  

I may be the engine behind this but go ahead and give me coments and reasons 
to consider
