[UK-CONTEST] Don't Forget - GB5HQ

[Douglas Maxwell]

Hi Dave,
    Had a quick look at the website and was most surprised by the lack of
Welsh and Northern Ireland members in our Great Britain team. In addition to
this only 2 out of the 40 or so stations were Scottish. Was this due to lack
of interest from the aforementioned countries? What was the method for
selection of stations? Surely if we want to compete effectively we need as
many geographically diverse stations as we can manage to cover the whole of
Great Britain and not just the whole of England?
