[UK-CONTEST] Slow Speed Cumulative Contests reminder

[Lee Volante]

Hello all,

Don't forget that the first of this years Slow Speed Cumulative Contests
starts on Monday 25 March.

Please support the event any way you can - either by operating directly, or
perhaps by giving some gentle persuasion to your local Intermediate or
Foundation Licensees over this weekend !

5 sessions per contest this year, and Certificates of Merit for leading
Intermediate, Foundation and Full licence holders.

Rules below, or see the January 2002 RadCom, or http://www.rsgbhfcc.org
