[UK-CONTEST] HF Championship

[Lee Volante]

Hi Mike,

Good question !  The HFCC has long recognised a mode imbalance within the 
RSGB HF contest calendar as a whole - it was heavily weighted towards CW. 
Hence the committee was pleased to redress this with the 80m CC SSB / data 
contests which started in 2004, and they proved to be very popular.

There are no additional SSB events considered suitable for addition to the 
HF Championship tables though.  However, ideas and discussions for 
additional SSB events are under discussion right now, for hopeful inclusion 
in 2007 and beyond.

Traditionally BARTG has represented the UK with HF RTTY contests which it 
does very well. There's no wish to clash or overlap, and so the HFCC have 
focussed on morse and voice events.

73,

Lee G0MTN
