Europeans will not be keen either, we use signal reports and not grids in contests and in fact generally. I will howl a lot! The VHF features is important for EME.

Good old-fashioned Grids-Only mode. We don’t need signal reports on weak signal or Es VHF work, where the intent is to have a valid contact in minimum time. We can probably eliminate the “VHF and above” features checkbox, too. There does seem to be confusion around it, sometimes. Just have the application default to VHF settings, grids only, above 29.700 MHz. If “Special Activity” is selected, then the appropriate TEST message can be generated along with opening a Cabrillo log. I’m not advocating changing the below-50 MHz setting, since I think the howls would be large and sustained. Thoughts? George J Molnar, KF2T College Park, Maryland, USA
