[SFDXA] [DCARC] ARRL VHF contesting survey, 6m ops, please fill this out.

[Randy Shirley]

Hi Rich,

I agree. VHF ops should put in their 2 cents!

My response was for ops to move to SSB and CW as soon as digital (FT8 
and FT4) were moving the s meter.  QSO rates were much better years ago 
with CW and SSB.

Additionally, I have a complaint that the "Southern Florida" section is 
NOT Southern Florida!  I includes counties that are far north of Orlando 
on the east coast!  The northern tip of the section is 184 miles, as the 
crow files, north of me here in Fort Lauderdale.  When it takes 330 
miles to get out of Florida, these guys are closer to Georgia than they 
are to me, and we are competing with them! They have totally different 
conditions. It's even worse for our friends in Miami and in the keys!

I would like for the ARRL to redraw the boundaries so that Southern 
Florida is truly Southern Florida.  Maybe a bit above Lake Okeechobee on 
both coasts and NOT north of Cape Canaveral on the east coast.

If enough of us get together on this maybe it can be corrected.

My 2 cents!

Very 73,
Randy N4QV
