[600MRG] 2018 ARRL grid chase

[John Langridge]

I guess I have to take back what I said earlier until the matter is
clarified but another link in the original news release says that 472
is excluded and there is no mention of 137:

"3. Bands: All FCC-authorized frequencies (excluding the 60 meter and
600 meter bands). Permitted bands: 160m, 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m,
12m, 10m, 6m, 2m, 1,25m, 70cm, 33cm, 23cm, and all higher
FCC-authorized microwave bands."


They seem to have different information in different places in the
release so the ARRL is going to have to get on the same page and try
again, it seems...

stay tuned... hopefully they make the right clarification.

73!
