[UK-CONTEST] Fwd: 160m Contest Rules

[Don Field]

Thanks to Chris for clarifying this, and I withdraw my own remark about sour
grapes. I would emphasise, though I know the point has been made before,
that the formal way to draw a matter to the attention of HFCC is a note to
the chairman. We receive many comments with logs, especially in the Soapbox
line, and it is not appropriate to try and respond to them all as formal
requests for rule change, or whatever. Neither is the reflector (which is
quite independent of RSGB) a formal way of raising matters, though it's a
great way to air the discussion.

On the present debate, while I have some sympathy for Peter G3LET's view,
one would have thought the sharp PA operators would have spotted an
opportunity to slide up the band and work 50 or more G stations!

(Acting) Contest Committee Chairman
