Hello Frank. Personally, I think that the idea of the rest of the world =
having to look for me would be a most welcome change.....  then I could =
point my beam in your direction and ignore them just so that they get a =
taste of what we go through every other contest.

  RTTY section for the Jubilee contest? Could be difficult, but.....

  I checked the rules at the RSGB HFContests web site, and it would seem =
there are two sections:
  (A) British Commonwealth stations work the Rest of the World, and
  (B) Rest of the World stations work British Commonwealth.

  I think I have operated in nearly all the rtty contests over the past =
12 months, and I have only worked 96 British Commonwealth stations, =
(23-G, 41-VE, 21-VK, and 11-others). So for "Rest of World" stations =
it's going to be slim pickings I reckon, unless there are at least 400 =
British Commonwealth stations who would be active on rtty for the =
contest.

  In addition the Jubilee contest dates of June 8/9 clash with the =
ANARTS rtty contest. Which for me creates a dilemma, because I would =
like the enter the Jubilee contest on CW, and also the ANARTS.

  Anyway here's an idea - why couldn't the 2002 ANARTS contest be the =
rtty section of the Jubilee contest? Modify the the ANARTS rules =
slightly, everyone still work everyone, but instead of just bonus points =
for working VK stations, it could be bonus points for working all =
British Commonwealth stations. This would be within the spirit of the =
Jubilee contest, and would be easy to implement.

  Comments anyone please.

  73, Frank ZL2BR
