[UK-CONTEST] Increasing VHF contest participation by newbies

[David Barber]

Sorry guys, I don't agree with any of you except for Adrian's comments
regarding the positioning of Amateur Radio with respect to current
technology and society.

Until one can sell the fascination of the VHF / UHF / SHF bands to the
newcomer, no amount of rule changing - licence or contest - is going to
force them to migrate there for anything more than a chat on the local
repeater.

The question of how this can be accomplished continues to bounce around
without solution.
