[UK-CONTEST] IOTA DXpeditions - Ynys Mon

[Stewart Rolfe]

I gather recent IOTA eu124 status of Holy Island is due to some sort of 'cumulative' rule, viz - 

Ynys Mon -> Mainland = 196m = EU005 (<200m); Holy Island -> Ynys Mon = 5m = 201m -> Mainland = island (all measurements subject to arguments about state of tides etc...)

But the argument above has just designated Ynys Mon as Mainland eu005 therefore the 5m separation of Holy Island is to Mainland - isn't it?? Circular logic or what?

Perhaps the definitive algorithm is:- "rule -> silly result = silly rule"

73,
