[NLRS] Pacific Northwest DX convention Contest forum and VHF+

[Jon Platt]

The Pacific Northwest DX Convention recently held a contest forum lead by W7VO along with moderators AC0W, KI7Y and W9JJ.   The forum covers background information about the ARRL's Contest Advisory Committee (CAC), who is on it, how it works, then dives into the committees work (tasks) over the last year.   See  <http://wvdxc.org/Club/W7VO.mp4>  .
Regarding those topics of interest to VHF+ op's, I suggest that you watch the first 7 minutes of the video where W7VO discussion the CAC along with expanding into its VHF+ subcommittee.  Starting at 6:44 W7VO starts to discuss individual CAC tasks.  You can find VHF+ tasks as follows:
46:10  Change in the definition of Rover to allow for one-grid rovers.51:17  Change in the 10G contest rules55:10  Touch on the topic of FT8 in contesting as a work in progress.
