[UK-CONTEST] Short calls - clubs from 2011

[Cocks, Stephen J]

I am also very concerned about this, as our club has just been issued
G4C this January it doesn't really leave us enough time to comply with
the new Ofcom requirements.

I can't see how this new requirement is going to help anyone except the
few
Mega stations who will be able to comply, it is not going to help the
average radio club who participate in contests in a more casual way.

I think that this new requirement is a shame and will do nothing to
encourage contest operating from clubs.

Does this meant hat the clubs lose thier callsigns at the start of 2011?

I have 2 concerns:

1. If a club were to enter 5 events in 2010 under their existing
callsign
and score more than 1/3 in them, but the results don't get published
until
some time in 2011 e.g. CQ events), that's not fair to lose the callsign
while waiting for results. This extension for clubs is too drastic a
timeframe and should be 2012 or 2013, not the start of 2011.

2. If a callsign were to be used in a section of a contest such as CQWW
in a
sepecifric section, is the "leader" score the leader overall or the
leader
for theat section? e.g. say you only did a single-band entry, you won't
get
1/3 of the score of a multi-multi team. That too is harsh to say you
don't
get your 1 out of 5 points qualification.
