>Yesterday, a survey was sent out to the VHF+ contesting community to give
>individuals an opportunity to voice their opinion about the rules governing
>ARRL VHF+ contests.  Already we have received over 200 responses to the
>survey.  The survey can be viewed here:

>In order to provide the best information with appropriate regional concerns
>voiced, we would like to offer to include your club's response to the 
>survey
>in our results.  If you agree, it would work like this:
>
>
>
>1.	We would like you to select a single point of contact that we would
>interact with regarding the survey.  We would recommend an active contester
>that members of your organization regard favorably (and someone that has
>email).
>2.	We would forward the raw results of the survey to this individual as
>a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
>3.	They would be at liberty to discuss those results with the club at
>large or select individuals, in whole or in part, as they deem necessary
>4.	We would like to get back:
>
>a.	An overall summary of the survey pointing out the benefits and
>drawbacks and any major themes that are worth noting along with background
>on your region and club ("The xyz contesters have 175 active members in and
>around the greater Atlantis area.")
>b.	A short paragraph or two addressing each of the questions that is
>your interpretation of the data provided
>
>
>
>We will collect and publish a joint response including all of the results,
>summaries and interpretations received for ultimate consumption by the 
>VUAC.
>In addition, either the entire report or a subset of the report, at the
>discretion of the overall team (a representative from each club) will be
>published for the contesting VHF+ community at large.
>
>
>
>The survey we crafted is not perfect and is open to interpretation.
>Further, some issues that may be important locally (and that may be
>mentioned in comments by some of the respondents) may not have been
>addressed to the extent that your area would like.  We would appreciate the
>opinion from your region on these issues and would like to help those
>opinions be heard in the VUAC.
>
>
>
>The survey closes on 11/1/2006.  If your members have not yet filled out 
>the
>survey, we would appreciate their responses.  If you would like to take 
>part
>in the analysis, please forward the name, callsign and email address of the
>individual that you would like to be your representative and we will 
>contact
>that individual with the survey details.
