[UK-CONTEST] Contesting + support

[Rob - G4LMW]

Thanks Richerd

Maybe I am being to choosy in my contests!

At my age and level of fitness, I was looking for (HF) contests I can do 
from home. My original question wasn't so much around "contests for 
beginners" - rather than prizes for newcomers within existing contests.

A glance at all the results will show the "usual suspects" at the top of the 
pile, and I would not wish to deny them their rightful place (I hope to be 
there with them someday). But perhaps a certificate for any operator who has 
never had a top 10 finish or "best newcomer" (whether top 10 or position# 
347!). It is like so many things these days. A lot of people don't take part 
'cos they fell they can never win.

I often wonder why Tottenham Hotspur continue to enter the premier league 
each year.

73, Rob
