[UK-CONTEST] ON4KST

[Jiri Culak]

What I do find a bit funny is that majority of responses to KST and non KST
and VHF are done by those I never worked or heard on VHF.
:-)
Anyway, nill points tonight on 23cm as it seems my coax relay doesn't work
as supposed. And yes, if I had KST on me while /P I could ask someone
To check my signal and probably could make a tst QSO. So far, wasted
journey.

Great for experimenting certainly, but surely this is a contesting forum?

Even an uninformed person will realise, from the list of attributes, that it
is a real-time internet-based communications system.

Does that somehow validate its use by contesters?  Are we amateur radio
contesters or amateur internet contesters?
