[UK-CONTEST] Commonwealth Contest Rule - John Dunnington Trophy -clarification

[g3rir demon]

What about the use of a nest of dipoles ie one for each band in use but a
single feeder?

We have thought about using such an antenna in HF NFD but it appears to be
against the rules.

Hi

The rule says :-

"Awarded to the leading UK station using 100 watts and single element
antenna (dipoles, loops or vertical etc)."

The question was could one use more than one single element antenna. The
answer is yes, so for example you might use a vertical for HF and perhaps
something like a doublet for LF. Or two different length doublets etc.

What you can't use is any sort of multi element antenna like a yagi or a
phased array etc.

And by the way low power stations should enter the Open section and mark
their entry 'Low Power'.

We do intend to show them in the listings.

PS Latest propagation forecast seem to be showing better than average
conditions over the BERU weekend.
