[UK-CONTEST] Where are the G0s ?

[David G3YYD]

Could it be that many UK stations join in the fun by working 
countries/states/zones that they would not normally be able to work 
outside a contest? If that is the case they are not interested in 
entering the contest only taking advantage of the contest to work some 
DX. See no wrong in that as it increases contest activity. I

I encourage members of the local club to do just that especially on the 
2nd day of a big 48hour contest when the big guns are looking for the 
QRP and/or poor antenna stations. It gives them training that may turn 
them into full blown contesters later in life.

I remember when I started that all the big contesters were 2 letter 
calls or G2+three letters with a few of the early G3+3letters. Now it is 
more late G3+3 letters and into the G4s. (no wonder I have got grey hair!)
