[UK-CONTEST] 21/28Mhz, the future?

[Clive Whelan]

Well I certainly started something!

Lot's of good points made, particularly by fellow OFs, the two Dons,
Bob/AGN, and Chris/SJJ

Succinctly:

G activity is simply inadequate for contests like 21/28 ( and the demised
7Mhz DX). Switch off life support now.


G activity in e.g. CQWW ( possibly ARRL DX too) is quite high, so reinstate
21/28 and 7mhz DX as contests within a contest, and award the redundant
trophies as appropriate. There will be no need for log checking, CQ will do
it all without being asked. All you have to do, is go on in CQWW on however
many bands you wish, and then declare ( say) a band(s) specific entry to
RSGB, with perhaps a "restricted" section, for the antenna challenged. No
log checking, the adjudicator just scans the entry and CQ results ( perhaps
Roger can give HFCC a sneak preview?); what could be easier?


C'mon HFCC be creative! Do it NOW not later.
