Lady & Gentlemen,
Not certain if my earlier message was received. No reply from anyone on the
distribution list. Here it is again, in case the first one was lost in
cyberspace.
In an effort to stimulate activity on VHF/UHF bands beyond 70 CM, I’d like to
suggest the creation of a Five Band VUCC (5B VUCC) award that would closely
mirror the 5 Band DXCC Award.
Successful applicants would need to achieve VUCC status on five or more of the
VHF/UHF bands to be eligible for the larger award. A special certificate and
pin could be created to honor recipients.
My feeling is that this award would encourage greater activity on the VHF/UHF
bands, especially on bands that have less use like 222, 1296, and higher
microwave bands. This increased activity encourages the sale of more gear,
helps protect our spectrum from commercial interests, and advances the state of
the radio art.
Please let me know if you think this idea has any merit, or what I could do to
help support the creation of the new award. As always, grateful for your
service to the hobby.
73,
