[UK-CONTEST] More on these websites

[Callum MØMCX]

These are mountains chaps, not molehills. I have been 100% proved that I
don't understand how all this works. Clearly I must have a point since there
are various sites on the web that impersonate the RSGB. You are happy with
that? They hoodwinked me, I can't be the only one.

OK, so let's say I turn up as a newcomer (which clearly I am since I know
nothing about how you organise yourselves) if I am to stay corporate and
follow the rules, I go to the RSGB's home page but the word "contest"
doesn't even exist on the home page. There is no logical link from RSGB to
any contesting pages (and all the other weird domain names that exist). Did
anyone hear that? You have to ACTUALLY KNOW where to go to find the
information in the first place or start at Google.

And very lastly for this round of drinks (not withstanding that most of my
other questions still haven't been answered), I know that
http://www.rsgbiota.org/ is also owned by the RSGB because I'm now doing my
homework:

- Registrant ID:10686937608150
- Registrant Name:Radio Society of Great Britain

1) Why isn't there a link from the main site to here and 2) why is it that
the pages from 2007 are available to download, not 2009?

http://www.rsgbiota.org/info/directory.php 

>> "The following pages from the 2007 edition of the IOTA Directory are
available to download"

It *feels like* to me that the people who run the profit-making RSGB don't
want to be associated with the contesters. Someone somewhere needs their
heads banging together since it's a bloody shambles.
