    I imagine some visitors here are unsure of how to “do” a V/UHF Contest.   Well way back in the archives (early-mid Jan 2010) I found the links you need.   These articles are not fast food.   It’ll probably take a good half hour or more to read, re-read and digest them.   Some will probably have honest differences with some of what I say and that’s fine.   But I love contesting, and V/UHF contests always can use more activity.   The pace is not nearly as hectic as you may be used to on the HF contesting side.   
   You are free to pass this info along to anyone who might be interested.   There’s 5 weeks until the busy summer contest season starts, so right now is a good time to get educated.
  These links are in order from a basic introduction, to antennas, to tips, rover operation, logging, scoring.   The whole 9 yards is in here.
