[Mich VHF UHF Society] ARRL September VHF Contest logs deadline

[Bart Jahnke]

All,

This is just a reminder that beginning with the ARRL September VHF Contest
there began shortened log submission deadlines for the majority of ARRL
Contests.

In summary, ARRL VHF Contests now have a 10-day log deadline (beginning
with the September VHF contest) - and ARRL HF Contests now have a 5 day log
deadline (beginning with November sweepstakes).

Noting that the September VHF Contest announcement published in August QST
still showed the previous 30-day deadline (the new deadlines were being
written as August QST went to press), and considering the impact of the
devastating weather events in late August and early September affecting the
southern and southeastern states, accomodation will be made to any log
still received through October 1. The web app will still say that the log
has been received after deadline, but it will be accepted. Same with paper
log postmarks - we will still accept them with postmark no later than
October 1.

ARRL VHF Contests starting with the 2018 January VHF Contest will be
processed with a 10-day deadline (accepting anyone who seeks extension as
permitted by the new guidelines).

Please contact me with any questions. See following URL for an expanded
description of the September QST article.
