[UK-CONTEST] Individual Short Contest Callsigns

[tom wylie]

I suspect that because when I raised the subject of short Contest calls 
with the HFCC in the early 1990s (I think G4HCT was the then Manager) I 
was told that short calls would give an advantage to some stations over 
others.   I suspect that this antideluvian thinking still exists....
whilst it seems OK to have an advantage in International contests it is 
seen as un-gentelmanly in local contests.   But of course I stand to be 
corrected.
