[UK-CONTEST] Comments from Tim VXE

[Phil Cooper]

Hi Tim and the group,

Many thanks for that answer Tim, as it is pretty much what I expected. And
as it is YOUR column in RadCom, I thought it would be useful to know your
take on the subject.

I will be another of those emailing Giles, and asking that contest reports
reflect a more realistic version of events.

I am puzzled as to why RadCom cannot increase in size? I realise there would
be a cost implication, and that it would need (probably!) 4 pages to make it
work out, but surely this could be filled quite easily with other things?

Also, it was very interesting to note the figures from Roger SXW.
I am amazed at the increase in RTTY entries, and the figures are there to
prove it. The number of entries in RTTY contests have increased steadily
since 1999, and from 2005, they have jumped quite a bit.
Maybe some DXpeditions would do well to note these figures when they go
somewhere exotic, and don't provide much in the way of RTTY!!!
