Introducing the 2011 Fall VHF  Sprint.

The Southeastern VHF Society is again sponsoring the Fall VHF/UHF  Sprints. 
All amateurs are encouraged to participate, even if only in a small  way. 
They are meant to get everyone on the air. This year we are using 6 digit  
grid squares and distance scoring. The contest is intended for single 
operator,  single transmitter entries. However, if one wishes to introduce a 
newcomer to  weak signal vhf operations, the sponsors of the contest reserve the 
right to  allow such entries, if identified as such. In no case will there be 
more than 1  radio operator at one time. A second person can not serve as a “
spotter” while  the first operates. Operating categories are still Single 
Op and Rover. The  operating time for the 50 Mhz Sprint is short (like a 
sprint :-) and meant to  compress the activity into a shorter time  span.
