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

[Simon Wilson]

Clive, you certainly did. Very worthwhile.

I and members of our group (Hadley Wood CG) miss the 7Mhz DX, and would 
dearly love to see it back again.

Making it a sub-contest when the BIG ones are on seems sensible to me. 
However, contest exchanges need to match to save confusion.

21/28 - not too much to comment on here, except that we as a group like the 
dual-mode contest format of IOTA as it gives something for everyone in a 
single contest. Merging seems to be the way forward.

Regards,

Simon Wilson aka M0BOX/G6BOX
