Submitted for discussion…

Would it make sense to make the default sequence for VHF+ operation the 
“Contest Mode” style with no signal reports, no “CQ TEST” and no contest log 
being generated? 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?
