[NLRS] ARRL UHF Contest 2016 cancelled

[James Duffey]

I agree Jon. I have had mixed success with the UHF contest, but was in the stages of planning a new approach this year to revitalize my interest, but it appears that will have to wait. 

I agree that the UHF contests was sick, but it did not need to be amputated. The cancellation with no alternate is really dangerous in keeping what little interest there is active. - DUffey KK6MC

Also, if there really is an intent to encourage UHF+ contesting by the League they should have offered up an alternative plan before discontinuing the current one.  The news release states that the Contest Revitalization Committee was responding to members requests, but did these members request that the contest be cancelled?    How did we get from looking at different contest formats or different dates to cancelling?
