[UK-CONTEST] GB7HQ support

[Chris G3SJJ]

Colin, some previous editors used to refer contest oriented letters to 
HFCC and VHFCC Chair, as appropriate, for comment. This was appreciated 
and helpful as an appropriate response could be printed at the same 
time. The practice has fallen into disuse in recent years (dare I say 
since the departure of Steve T-L!) Maybe a request to re-institute an 
"Established Practice" might help!
