[UK-CONTEST] Commonwealth Contest

[G3SJJ]

Kevin, I think the consensus of opinion is that in its present form CC 
is almost dead, but there have been some really positive suggestions 
around which given the re-launch that Ian GM3SEK suggested could help it 
survive. That is why why I am sticking with the discussion. Nigel TXF 
commented about using the DX Cluster and I really do think this would be 
a useful modification. Also an Assisted section would include multi-op 
which could be used by Clubs as a training ground. One radio on Run, one 
on S&P. It wouldn't require any modification of the rules other than an 
asterick in the listing. No requirement for software change, so a simple 
but effective addition. I proposed a bonus for UK countries, in fact 
taking the existing call area 3x bonuses, this would give UK stations 5 
bands x 7 countries x 3 = 105 plus GB5CC gives antenna-challenged UK 
stations a potential 110 UK QSOs and would help to redress the imbalance 
in the current rules.

I do happen to think there is a lot going for this if we could shake-off 
the old millstone.
