[UK-CONTEST] Redundant contest reports

[Danny Higgins]

Why not just send the locator code?  It is universal and loggers like 
Ham Radio Deluxe can plot them on a map.  I log QRA locations for data 
contacts and find it more of a challenge than collecting DXCC countries 
on the LF bands or WAS on the HF bands.

The 80m events are not the place for a RoPoCo style (or even a RoPoCo 
sprint format!) as the added complexity would only deter some of the 
newer operators who are happy to dabble their toes into the shallow end 
of the murky pool of the chaos we call contesting.
