     I’ve belonged to the VHF Contesting Reflector for at least 7 years.   Learned a lot there.   Here’s the link to full info, if you care to subscribe.    http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/VHFcontesting   The posts made in March are full of different ideas for improving V/UHF contesting activity, plus how to recruit newcomers, and now they’re moving into discussing different antenna concepts.   A variety of good posts are being made, and it may be of interest to some of you.  
    Follow the instructions in that link and get signed up, if you care to.   Also notice the pair of archives links — they are open to anyone.
    If you want a historical treat from me, you can look up a post I made after my first V/UHF contest ever, the Sept. 2003 ARRL one.   Had a pair of omni loops on 6, and a pair for 144 — up about 30-35′ — and 100w out on both bands.   Had a ball — still am nearly 7 years later.   http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/vhfcontesting/2003-September/003001.html
