ARRL Encourages More VHF/UHF Contesting, Solicits Comments June 1, 2011 The ARRL would like to encourage more participation in its several VHF/UHF contests held each year. Many of the HF transceivers sold in recent years include 50 MHz, and some also include the 144 and 432 MHz bands with multi-mode capabilities. The question at hand is how can we encourage more owners of such radios to utilize these bands and modes to participate in VHF/UHF contests? The ARRL VHF/UHF Advisory Committee (VUAC) has been asked to consider this question, and to make recommendations to encourage, explore and expand the ARRL VHF and UHF contests and other operating activities by using the multi-band and multi-mode capabilities of modern transceivers and related equipment. The VUAC would like to ask the Amateur Radio community to provide their comments and ideas for consideration. Please send any comments or ideas you have on this matter to your ARRL VUAC Division representative no later than July 1, 2011. A listing of each Division’s VUAC representative can be found here. For those of us in the southeast, Steve, N2CEI is our VUAC representative, and can be contacted at n2cei-vuac@downeastmicrowave. In Memoriam - Steve Adams, K4RF May 5, 2011 As many of you know, Steve Adams, K4RF, a founding member of the SVHFS passed away in an accident on March 4th. This year's conference at Huntville was to be held in his honor. Unfortunately, with the cancellation of the conference this was not possible, so the following tribute is being offered for all to read. Please take a look at this and remember a friend who was an integral member of our community. View it here.
