Pete,
You're points, not an annoyance.

Subject: [VHFcontesting] one band for UHF contest
Newbie to contesting. Had a baby rover in the July CQ contest and it was a
lot of fun. Looking forward to the Sept. ARRL VHF contest.
Question on the August UHF contest this weekend: I only have one UHF band on
my radio (70cm), and no beam yet. Was planning on getting the beam and
associated equipment for the Sept. VHF contest, but is it worth it to
accelerate my 70cm capability for this coming weekend? I assume most
everyone in the UHF contest has many bands; would it be a waste of time for
those I contact to only have the one band? I probably would not be a
traveling rover, just operate from a single good location for a limited
period of time.
Note that I'm not talking about being competitive in the contest, it's just
fun making multiple contacts on "weak signal" bands that don't normally have
much activity. My main concern is that I don't want to annoy the competitive
contesters.
Thanks!
