Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

The general opinion seems to be that moving to a June date would be a bad
idea, both for propagation and because there are better things to do in
June. The contest calendar is very crowded and there are few options open if
we were to consider a new date at the beginning or end of the year. So
.......... the BARTG HF RTTY contest will run on the 3rd weekend in March as
it has for several decades. The RDXC contesters will just have to work round
us and be tolerant if space gets tight, as we are to them.

Our recent 2009 contest attracted around 2500 participants; it is a well
liked and supported test. I have no wish to change the character by messing
around with the rules, so they will remain the same for next year.

Once again thanks to all,

John GW4SKA
BARTG Contest Manager
