[RTTY] Fwd: ANARTS Contest Manager - A Plea for help please!

[philhss at tpg.com.au]

Well, my original posting didn't seem to come to much.

Nobody seems to know the fate of the latest incumbent for this contest, but I get the feeling from 
replies received that ANARTS is not well viewed currently.

I'd be interested to know the extent of the problem and the history behind the viewpoint. If I don't 
know what has occurred, I stand no chance of trying to do something about it.

The conversation is probably best conducted away from the reflector to save bandwidth - unless 
there is interest within reflectees....?

Over to you ladies and gents.

Cheers,

Ladies / Gentlemen,

In my new capacity as Contest Columnist for the WIA's Amateur Radio Magazine, I've been trying 
to get up to date with the VK contesting scene.
Looking through the ANARTS website, the participation level of VKs in the 2006 contest was very 
disappointing. I for one, shall participate in the 2007 contest but in my defence, I'd not heard of 
the contest before and my interest in RTTY has only recently been rekindled!


Now that I am aware of the contest I feel that it might be beneficial to include some publicity 
material and the rules within the AR column in advance of the contest date to give the contest the 
best chance of an enhanced VK presence on the bands. 

I'm keen to contact the current Contest Manager as I believe that the previous chap, Colin Davies 
VK2CTD, is no longer dealing with the contest due to distressing personal circumstances and has 
handed-over to a successor. The trouble is, that I can't seem to find the name of the new 
incumbent to make contact and get the roll rolling.

Does anyone on the reflector have any info that might assist me please?

Thanks and Regards,

Phil Smeaton
