Jon and  NLRSers,

Before we all start "jumping for joy" about this, please note  that 
ARRL Contest Manager, Sean Kutzko/KX9X, has posted (to VHFcontesting  
and to the Stanford VHF reflectors) that this posting of the rules for  
the June 2008 VHF QSO Party on the web page is incorrect and that  
"Changes will be made to the June VHF rules page to reflect  this."

APRS may still be used ONLY by Multi-operator  stations.

Here's a link to Sean's posting in the VHFcontesting Reflector  
archives  
http://lists.contesting.com/_vhfcontesting/2008-04/msg00100.html

Duffey,  KK6MC, who discovered the "change" in rules initially and 
posted the  discovery to the reflectors, observed (in Sean's 'denial' 
of the change)  that Sean had invoked the "VHF Rule" that "only 
Multi-operator stations my  use APRS data" BUT the ARRL Rule Structure 
ALSO states that rules for  individual contests supercede "frequency 
range" rules (<30 MHz/HF or  >50MHz VHF) which then supercede "General 
Rules for All ARRL  Contests".

I HOPE Sean clarifies this QUICKLY (and  authoritatively).

73, JK
