[UK-CONTEST] RSGB Contest Committee

[Andy GD0TEP]

The issue with real reports on HF and VHF points to how different contests
are on HF to VHF.

I think it's more a cultural thing that has grown over the years, by that I
mean HF'ers always appear to hand out 59(9) after 59(9) often when the real
report could be 439 or perhaps worse. Yet on VHF/UHF and above, real reports
are often the norm, and offer 'real' information to the station being
worked.

I sometimes wonder if I worked people in a HF contest and gave everyone
53(9) what would be logged?

By all means dumb down the exchange even further on HF, it wouldn't bother
me as I tend not to take part in them, but leave the VHF+ contests alone,
real reports are valuable.
