Ad Hoc Subcommittee on VHF and Above Revitalization Seeks August
UHF Contest Suggestions</div>
<p class="default">The ARRL Ad Hoc Subcommittee on VHF and Above
Revitalization is exploring ways to expand participation in the
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.arrl.org/august-uhf"
target="_blank">ARRL August UHF Contest</a>. This year's event
took place August 1-2. The objective of the event is to work as
many stations in as many 2 × 1 grid squares as possible on
amateur frequencies above 222 MHz, using any authorized modes.
The panel is inviting responses to these questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are you now active on UHF?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How often do you presently operate in the ARRL UHF Contest
-- never, occasionally, or always?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you do not presently participate, why not?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If you do not presently participate, what changes might
compel you to participate in the future?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>What are your ideas for attracting more amateurs to UHF
operation in general?</li>
</ul>
The subcommittee has requested that participants <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:vhf-input@arrl.org"
target="_blank">submit</a> their comments by October 1. The
members of ARRL's Ad Hoc Subcommittee on VHF and Above
Revitalization also expressed their gratitude for the many
comments they received during the initial round of VHF+ contest
rule changes.
