All this talk of just 2 or 3 RSGB HF contests makes for a very lean year. I
used to keep a 1 year wall planning chart on which to enter those contests
which interest me. My main gripe is , as ever , the demise of the LF
cumulatives, 9 of them, dumped without any prior warning and little or no
comment. Those regular contesters who support so many of the CW contests
didn't have a plethora of QRS contests to ease their way gently in, they
just went in at the deep end. I certainly remember how nervous I felt at my
first attempts which were in NFD in the 10 watt days.
            Field days, in their separate modes arent broke, and please no
more Mixed mode contests, IOTA is sufficient.The demise of CW contests can
only be hastened by the inclusion of other modes within what originated as a
purely CW one.
            We need more short, say two hours - no more, evening contests on
weekdays.
I have no sympathy with those who, "can't get up in time " for the ROPOCOs,
OK I no longer work but I used to , and entered them.
    Cheers all ,Ivan G3IZD
