[PaQSO] VHF UHF Operations

[vze3v8dt at verizon.net]

I've been sitting back watching (and deleting) many of these emails in this ongoing thread.  Now that there has been some sense brought forward (thanks to Mike, and lots of you out there) with this subject, and to add to what Bill said below, maybe there can be an additional award that would help get the VHF/UHF only crowd to send in their logs.  If they feel like they have their own category to compete against rather than just a few QSOs versus the hundreds and 1000+ of some of the better operations, maybe there will be more folk turning in a log and a larger population on VHF/UHF.  Again, for those who choose not to do VHF/UHF, that is fine, just like some choose not to do CW or some choose not to do phone.  It would just add another aspect to the Party and hopefully more operators/logs.

73,

Mark, NK8Q/LEH
