[UK-CONTEST] Radcom Contest Results

[Clive Whelan]

Peter

Sadly, despite what you, I, and the readership of this forum
feel, there is virtually zero interest in contests or their
results amongst UK amateurs as a whole. To believe that we
could reverse this trend is, imo, unrealistic.

In the U.S., ARRL has discontinued paper based publication
of all contest results save for the top ten listings. Would
it not be better therefore, to abandon completely the
inadequate and glacially slow publication of results in
Radcom ( apart from the links you propose), and move to
timely and unconstrained web publication of all contest
results. Who has the vision to address the issue?

I heartily welcome the recent editorial changes at Radcom,
however the published results seem now to be limited to the
first 20 places (May issue).  This has all been discussed in
this forum as being a reasonable compromise between space
and exposure, but it doesn't do much to encourage new  or
casual participants.  Perhaps we have a new "award
structure" to see who can get their call published!

Seriously though, where this is done,  I do think it would
be appropriate to include a link in the report to the full
published results.  Who has the influence to achieve this?
