The Special VHF-UHF Advisory Committee (VUAC), recently established by the ARRL Board is off and running. The committee consists of a Chairman, a Representative from each ARRL Division (appointed by the Division Director) and a representative from Canada.

The committee is charged by the Programs and Services Committee (PSC) with "doing no harm." The committee is expected to communicate with the V/U public and "seek consensus." Although an initial topic has been given to the committee at the outset, the PSC expects the committee to discover topics to consider from the public domain.

The committee is not a traditional advisory committee. It is mandated to consider only contest issues, and its term is limited to five years duration. The three-year term began on June 1, 2006.

Please don't hesitate to contact your representative and share your views on VHF- UHF contesting issues.
