[UK-CONTEST] Contesting + support

[don.field at gmail.com]

Fair point Peter. We have debated this within the Committee but I would be 
interested in views from reflectees - not everyone has a high-grade colour 
printer, but they are certainly getting more common. To avoid cluttering up 
the reflector, feel free to email me direct with your views.



Incidentally, most top US contesters trace their enthusiasm to being 
invited to one of the big multi-op stations. Sadly we don't have too many 
of those in the UK. Kudos to G6PZ, among others, who makes a point of 
inviting up-and-coming youngsters.
