[UK-CONTEST] Bad Publicity

[Richard Newstead]

In my view, poor policing of contest rules is the factor that annoys  
non-contesters the most. The various contest Committees seem unable or  
unwilling to simply disqualify contesters who deliberately infringe the  
rules (in respect of frequency) or radiate incredibly poor signal (VHF  
especially).

The wider perception is that contesters, after all, are all mates and so a  
gentle rebuke is the very most that will ever happen. Continued bad  
publicity is hardly surprising.
