[UK-CONTEST] RSGB Contest Committee

I cant fault a single word Andy. In fact on VHF if I am giving away points. 
 If a station gives me 59 and has already asked 3 or 4 times for my call. I 
will  give info twice. If he cant get it then that's his or her problem. 
After all  they gave me 59! With me if your not 59 on VHF you wont get 59 
simple as  that!

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.
