Making "noise" on reflectors and at our association meetings does serve
a useful purpose. Protest is a key part of any democratic organization.
The ARRL responds
to the concerns of it's membership, and if enough members make enough
noise about VHF Contesting, then it will receive attention.
Jay, W9RM has the right idea. To have our concerns heard effectively, we
need to keep our request simple and easy to understand. So after a lot
of thought, mine boil down to this:
ASSISTANCE: I am a supporter of the CQ WW VHF rules and would like to
see them implemented in all ARRL VHF contests.
DIGITAL MODES: I am in support of rules and scoring changes that would
encourage greater utilization of digital modes. Digital modes advance
the radio art, and improve the ability of all stations to contact
stations at a greater range.
LEGISLATIVE: I am in favor of a ARRL committee (appointed)
dedicated to VHF operations and contests WITH THE POWER to amend and
enforce rules changes independently of the ARRL CAC.
