[UK-CONTEST] QRO

[Chris Tran]

Thanks for the info Colin - I will try to find out more. I am interested in 
the reaction of the HFCC members who are on this reflector to your power 
output figures for other Eu countries - any comments please ?

Hopefully HFCC and RSGB will now make representations for 'power parity' 
with other Eu countries - I don't see how OFCOM can fail to listen to 
reasoned arguments (for and against increasing the present limit) backed up 
by evidence such as your list.  I emphasise that any increased power limit 
would be only for certain contests and only for Special Contest Callsigns - 
and/or other sensible restrictions.

Without prejudging anything, if the RSGB were to 'sit on the fence' too 
long, it would seem reasonable to me that contest groups or individuals 
might wish to approach OFCOM directly. I recall clearly the unacceptable 
5-year delay prior to the issuing of the first Special Contest Callsigns.
