[UK-CONTEST] ON4KST

[David Barber]

I always understood the raison d'être for Amateur contesting was to practise
the fast and accurate exchange of information under potentially unfavourable
conditions and without secondary means of communication.

Contest contacts are already minimally demanding upon the need for
communication within the contest RF spectrum.   Moves to make them even less
so, are considered unwelcome by many.

I am one such.

That said, I have always felt entirely relaxed with those who argue
exceptional arrangements should govern contesting on near-light bands.  Just
above 70cm always struck me as an equitable place to draw a line.
