[UK-CONTEST] 2011 UKAC multipliers

I do not consider it a JO03 ego trip, but the whole idea of contesting is  
to work as many stations as possible and as far away as possible.
 
I do not win 70cms UKAC very often and the same goes for 23cms, 6m and 4m  
again I have to work every last station I can to keep ahead.
 
Maybe 40 years as an active contester and DX worker has something to do  
with it!
 
I am sorry that you think it unfair (because I live on a hill in Jo03  
maybe) but even before I moved up here 10 years ago I was still winning contests 
 from JO01 and even many many years before that from IO91)
 
Removing ALL multipliers would make a level playing field for ALL  stations.

I think the thing to look at is that even if I am struggling to work a weak 
 station I will go as far as possible to make sure that the other station 
gets  JO03 as a multiplier!

The UK activity contest has been incredibly  successful, its been a joy 
to see comments in the claimed scores showing how  determined people have 
been to get on air and improve their stations (and  scores) from month to 
month.

No one has been disadvantaged or made  less competitive by the rule 
changes, they simply have had *some* of their  geographic advantage removed.

The VHFCC have responded well in their  attempt to improve the format of 
this series of contests - well  done.

Bryn you need  to consider your tone before dismissing all of the people 
who give you  points as "also rans" the contest was never intended to be 
a JO03 ego  trip!
