[UK-CONTEST] G numbers

[David L Sharred]

Firstly, I'm not sure that reducing RSGB events is going to cause more
people to enter international events or other.  You have no basis for this !

>>Most of the other European societies run just one major contest
>>where the World works that country, eg UBA, REF, HA etc.
>>There may be another domestic event, but by and large, most
>>contest participants in those countries will gain their experience in
>>other events such as RSGB 7/21/28, SAC CQWW, ARRL, but
>>most importantly will be quite happy to prepare and submit their
>>entries to those overseas societies.

How well do those societies publicise international events ? Not a poke at
anyone,  but just maybe we do not stir up enough interest in RadCom; which
after all  is the Society shop window to the membership.

You are right; if you come on for an hour or so, then you probably would not
submit a log (unless you are one of the keen ones). However, if you make
time to make a more serious attempt (even if it is not for the full
duration); then you may wish to figure in the Stats !
