[UK-CONTEST] Contest QSO s

[Colin Brown]

guys are you not all missing the point?

its horses for courses
cqww is all about rate
ropoco is all about accuracy
vhf is all about filling in your spare time!

you are trying to compare oranges with apples.

Why not just accept that different contests require different skill sets and 
this is what attracts different operators to different contests

At VHF its location, location, location! nothing to do with operator skill!

prove me wrong and win the vhf championship from GM,GI or GW where you dont 
have lots of DL and PA stations a few hundred Km away!
