The extra bands\nwould remain easy for operators in the east, and difficult for those in\nthe west.\n\nUnfortunately, I don't think it would really provide lasting activity\non the bands - nowdays folks would get on with FT8, exchange encoded\ncallsigns and a couple more bits of information, and call it a contact.\nThen they wourl move on to the next grid or band. Continuing activity,\nragchewing, even short \"It is good to hear from you again\", sort of\ncontacts that don't add additional grids, but do add activity, would\nnot be encouraged, as competitors would be letting their computers\nsearch out FT8 signals (random or arranged).\n\nPerhaps I am missing something - isn't it possible to get VUCC on\nseveral bands as separate VUCC, so one could have it on 6 meters, 2\nmeters, and so on? If it isn't, it seems that it should be. Then\n5BVUCC would just be 5 of these single-band VUCC awards.\n\nI would love to see an approach that left operator skill as more\nimportant than computer processing power -- the only thing I can think\nof is mode specific awards. If by operating SSB or CW I were not\ncompeting against computers exchanging minimal traces of information,\nit would not be so disillusioning.\n\n Alan\n", "attachments": [] }
