[UK-CONTEST] 2011 VHF Contest Calendar

[Regwoolley at aol.com]

I must agree with you Andy. I only wish ON4KST was free for all. Also like  
G8HGN there were no restrictions on aerials only power limits. I think from 
my  location the rules could in fact favour me a bit. As for Working GW's. 
I have  worked more SP's on 70cms this year than I have different GW in 
contests on 2m!  That's a rather damming statement on the lack of Activity from 
God's Country!

I think  this is an interesting and imaginative compromise. 

It allows everyone  to look for QSOs in all directions. I doesn't
un-reasonably dis-advantage  the east coast stations - QSOs into Europe will
still count for points, but  it does mean that East coast staions need to
make sure that they catch as  many of the avaiable UK mults as possible and
so will need to spend more  time beaming inland. It's not as if there is a
dearth of UK activity in  these events.

Given the difficulty in writing rules to suit everyone  all of this time, I
congratulate the committee on finding what looks like a  reasonable way
through the marshes.

73,

Andy,  G4PIQ

Oh dear, looks like I'll being doing something else on  Tuesday nights next 
year.

At least there's a low power section, but  I can't enter that as I have 2 
antennas.

The Dxers section is a bit  of a contradiction, as any DX worked outside 
the 
UK won't count for  mult's.

Will stations in GD, GJ & GU be disadvantaged by the  change. From 
Wikipedia:-The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are  dependencies of the 
United Kingdom but not part of the UK or of the  European Union. 
Collectively, the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and  the Isle of Man 
are known in UK law as the British Islands. The Republic  of Ireland is a 
sovereign state formed from the portion of Ireland that  seceded from the 
United Kingdom in 1922. Although part of the geographical  British 
Isles,[7] 
it is no longer a part of the UK.

Sorry Ray I  can't agree with your sentiments.

Bob  G8HGN
