[UK-CONTEST] Strategies for frequency ownership

[Peter Hobbs]

Likewise Bob.  We aren't in the world of Sunday morning nets here, you're
going to go wherever you can make your best score.  Running  is all about
having enough clout to hold a frequency against all comers, whether you dive
in when a runner is off on his second VFO, or edge up to avoid QRM to YOU.
In these events there is no such thing as a clear frequency awaiting you.  I
have to say that expecting to artifically hold a channel before the contest
starts is asking for trouble and you're likely to get it unless you're
strong enough to make diving in counter-productive.

In a recent AFS CW write-up in the Bulletin it was made clear that anyone
who left his run frequency to call elsewhere had forfeited any notional
right he may have had to it.  Chris might remember the incident that gave
rise to that ruling ;)

"With all this talk of pre-contest strategies for frequency "ownership", I
find my mind filled with images of German tourists, beach towels and sun
loungers.  I don't know why."
