[UK-CONTEST] 21/28 MHz CW Contest G3BJ

[Tom Wylie]

I have around 50 logs for the 21/28 SSB Contest split about 50/50 UK and 
overseas.

I just got back from holiday last night so I havent looked at them in 
depth - there are more that an few with the log title 21-28 SSB.LOG  hihi

I havent looked at sopabox comments.   Most cabrillo logs dont have any. 
Some of the overseas are in non cabrillo formats.    So far I dont have any 
paper logs - I think Steve has retyped a couple.

Personally I'd scrap the contests as I feel they have outlived their 
interest.

Perhaops its time to scrap ALL the Contests and keep just four -

AFS
Club Calls
An Amalgamated field day  SSB/CW and RTTY  (Come on I can hear you now)
and ONE other Contest like field day only run from
home - multi band/mode - ONE weekend a year....

I of course exclude the IOTA Contest  which I dont count as an HFCC Contest.

Donning my flame retardant suit
