[UK-CONTEST] 21 28 MHz what a waste of a day

[Callum M0MCX]

Hi Tony,

I didn't do this contest because I thought it would be a waste of time with
my set up. However, when I did SSB Field Day this year, there was quite a
bit of activity on the higher bands which was a pleasant surprise. This of
course, is half the fun.

The other half is being forced to participate in something you don't want to
do! :)

Some people think I have an attitude problem. **** 'em

Hi All,
Why on Earth the RSGB continues with this farce at this time of the Solar
Cycle I can't
understand,  mogodon via radio.   With a barefoot rig and a doublet this
year's contest
was a total waste of time.    Please can't RSGB organise a contest which
takes into account
the current and likely conditions over the next few years and allows those
of us without large linears and beams to actually work stations rather than
as I did have Radio 4 in one side of my headphones and the the 21 MHz band
in the other,  I quite like the Archers but didn't expect to be listening to
it as the only copyable signal.     This is certainly no way to encourage
new ops to participate in contesting.
