[UK-CONTEST] Redundant contest reports

[David Barber]

As a matter of note.

All reports being given during the AFS 70cm contest on Sunday were a genuine
indication of received signals and conditions.

>From a VHF contest viewpoint, differing strength reports are very useful:

If I give a report of 59 and send my information just once, that is how I
expect the recipient to behave.

However if I send 52 and give my details carefully, twice, that is my prompt
to the other party to behave likewise. It often works.

Best of all it avoids the stupid "you're 59-14, please all again" !
