Yes, start your own contest. So long as you are willing to have the exchange
be grid squares (pretty obvious), and to accept Cabrillo formatted logs,
simply hold your contest on the second weekends of June and September, and/or
the 3d weekend of January, from 2 pm ET Saturday to 11 pm ET Sunday, or some
shorter time within that period.
>From there, take it away. Have distance based scoring, captive rovers or
not, grid circling or not, categories for whatever you wish, etc. Whatever
you
want to see. There can be as many different contests and different sets of
rules as there sponsors.
A person would enter your contest merely by adding your contest's email
address in the "Send To" field when they email their logs to ARRL.
There's no need to wait for ARRL to change their rules. Just get the VHF
logs from those weekends, score them as you see fit, and put the results on the
web.
