[UK-CONTEST] Don't Forget - GB5HQ

[Doug Roberts]

Adrian,

Perhaps your observant club member should widen his investigations ...

A check on the HFCC website, HF contest results for last year reveals 
almost exactly the same thing!  For all the contest results that show 
individual scores, there is only one former Class B licence holder in 
the top ten, and there are no Foundation or Intermediate licence holders.

Interesting to see how keen and easily motivated your mates are to do a 
little to help out on a National basis!

73,
Doug G0WMW
