[UK-CONTEST] Contest Results - RadCom

[Don Beattie]

And as I may have already said here, the VERON (Dutch society) experience in 
polling its "new young" members is that the top topic of interest in amateur 
radio amongst that group is "competitive" events (contesting, ARDF, HST 
etc).

I rest my case.

Don, G3BJ
