[UK-CONTEST] ROPOCO2 G3BJ

[Jim Kellaway]

Rob,

I know. I'm just too lazy to get out of bed. However I think it would be
interesting to see if the numbers increased if it kicked off at 1600 or
1700z. It would be great if there were more stations active than you could
ever hope to work.

A pity your thread has gone off the point and gone on to the usual CW
superior business.

Horses for courses Jim

I can get on this contest because the XYL is still in bed. Later and I could

not.

I think the real answer is to have more ops learn CW. 599 001 is easy enough

for those with no skill at all. Adding a random alpha-numeric exchange 
severely thins out the field.

I have a radical suggestion.. why can't we have a Morse Test (say 12WPM) 
that you have to pass in order to obtain a "Superior" licence?

;-))

73, Rob
