[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thanks Rob, in that case, I think this is an excellent idea and I certainly plan to have a go.

>> Les, I guess your saying we wouldn't attract CW newcomers, but you would SSB ones (me for one).
>> Is this the only CW RoPoCo? In that case, I'd go with you, we need to keep at least one, because one day I want to be able to enter and hope other would be the same. But a phone RoPoCo would allow some of us to get into the operation of such a contest, without having to concentrate on both the contest and our Morse.
>> So if the committee is saying they will stop the only CW RoPoCo, I'd say don't do that, but add a Phone version in.
