[NLRS] Logs for the UHF Contest (aka Rovermania VI !)

[James Duffey]

I hope that you get the 51 logs to get an entry into the unlimited  
category. That would truly be historic! The members of NLRS should be  
congratulated for nearly single handedly reviving the UHF contest from  
near certain death in 2004. An entry in the unlimited club competition  
would be a fitting crown to this achievement.

Everyone from the NLRS who participated in the UHF contest should  
submit a log, no matter how small. Everyone's contribution is  
significant.

Historically, club competition has driven VHF/UHF contest activity.  
NLRS has shown this to continue to be true. I think that the best way  
to encourage contest activity and to show the ARRL that there is  
sufficient activity in the UHF contest to continue it, is to get some  
competition among clubs going.

It looks like the Southern California Contest Club is hot on your  
heels, but their mode of operation is quite different than yours and  
relies on big scores from a few rovers, whereas the NLRS is more  
democratic, with activity from lots of rovers, lots of fixed stations,  
and a few good portable stations.

I wish I could have participated in Rovermania VI!, but unfortunately  
I had other commitments here in New Mexico and Arizona. There was nil  
activity here. I will try again to get up there for next year's  
contest, but I do not think that I can contribute to the NLRS club  
score, except to provide QSOs to you guys.

Keep up the good work. - Duffey
