[UK-CONTEST] UK-CONTEST] HFCC Review

[Christopher Soames]

I believe that we have already lost Tuesday CC tests to fit in with the 
144Mhz tests are we now to lose the odd Mondays to them as well.? The 
dropping of Tuesdays has no doubt meant that some may not be able to 
take part, so lets not take Monday away as well. Incidently I would 
rather we dropped Wednesday as it is our club night and we lose entrants 
because of that. You cannot please all of the,...all of the time etc etc 
Just holding short of a quote lest I upset too many.
My apologies to all who worked me last night Macro nightmare I am 
afraid, that plus unplugging keyer USB and a general night of 
incompetence. Thanks fer ur patience.
