[UK-CONTEST] RE:80m CC frequencies

[Alex G3ZBE]

I agree too!
I think it makes it much more interesting to have really varied
propagation, it allows different skills to be brought into play.

Yes, totally agree. If the contest is a 'challenge' then it's working.
If it's like sitting and shooting fish in a barrel, then it's not a
contest. To win contests by sitting and calling CQ is not a good
reflection of operator skill (both in the use of the equipment and the
use of propogation).

Not at all tongue in cheek;  I agree entirely with SVL and for us in
Leicestershire we are at a disadvantage at this time of year. The
critical
frequency does not seem to be following any known pattern so the January
and
February contests are actually useful.

I would like the contest to stop in May so that we can deal with our
planning and operation of HF and VHF NFD

For that reason alone I would vote to keep the Jan/Feb contests so we
learn
more about how to deal with such condx.
