[UK-CONTEST] Short Contest Calls

[Clive Whelan]

It is entirely reasonable- but quite unrealistic- to expect Ofcom and 
RSGB/HFCC to publish such information in a timely fashion in electronic 
form, on their web sites. In the case of Ofcom they clearly have more 
important fish to fry, but what RSGB/HFCC's excuse might be, I know not.


However, and importantly, as holder of the GW7X NoV I  WAS (yes I am 
shouting here) so advised in writing by Ofcom of the addition of RDXC, 
only shortly after the renewal notice was rendered inaccurate by the 
update. I therefore advised the members of Contest Cambria of the 
change, and we have been planning a major effort ( well a dabble 
anyway!) in RDXC since that time ( November 2007 I think). If I had not 
done this, I would have expected and deserved to be kicked from backside 
to breakfast time ( these are technical terms N.B. ;-) ), and I would 
therefore suggest that members of a group holding an SCC, who have not 
been so advised take equivalent action against the holder of their own NoV.

It is unclear what action might be taken against HFCC, but being 
pilloried, or banned from all RSGB contests in perpetuity come most 
readily to mind. Yes I know, this seems overly lenient, but I am known 
as a forgiving person ;-)
