[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 80m CC Contests

Sun Feb 1 14:57:42 EST 2009

Thanks for the input Bob
No need to appologise for being pedantic!
Sorry if the wording is not quite correct, we have been spending most of our 
available hours making the system work to benefit all RSGB contesters.
I think if we apply a little common sense to this transition it will be a 
success.
I assume you have tried the new system and all is well otherwise you would 
be bringing these problems to our attention?
As I have stated NO ONE will lose out with the changes so let's all try and 
make it work.

Jim
