VUCC's requirements are \"weighted\" by band. Example: VUCC on 10 GHz lacks much challenge.\n\nA multi-band VUCC may be an interesting concept. I ask that \"ARRL.ORG\" think this through before just duplicating it for VHF/UHF.\n\nAs for \"This increased activity encourages the sale of more gear, helps protect our spectrum from commercial interests, and advances the state of the radio art.\" I would suggest that it does not as single-band VUCC's already exist for every VHF+ band with little impact.\nHOWEVER...the following changes would do so:\n1. Change the LIMITED MULTI-OP category to be limited in the number of operators, not the number of bands.\n2. Change the FM ONLY category to include ALL bands, not just ABCD.\n3. Eliminate the SINGLE OPERATOR, 3-BAND category\n4. Change the ROVER, LIMITED category to be limited to a SINGLE operator and driver rather than limited to the \"bottom 4\" bands.\n\nI find it odd that the ARRL asks for support to a \"Spectrum Defense\" fund while limiting spectrum use in their own events.\n\nEv, W2EV\n\n On Monday, April 22, 2019, 12:37:12 AM EDT, Sean Waite [email protected] [OntVHFAssoc_reflector] <[email protected]> wrote: \n\nOn Sun, Apr 21, 2019 at 7:51 PM Les Rayburn via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> Lady & Gentlemen,\n>\n> Not certain if my earlier message was received.
