[UK-CONTEST] FW: Warming Up

[Andy Hewitt]

Rob,
It might work, but imagine the fight for band space 30 seconds after the
contest has started. What would all those S&P-ers do in the meantime, whilst
the RUN-ers are finding somewhere to run?

Danny was only suggesting having to move if you call CQ and give serial 001.

After that, you can stay put.
