[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 21 / 28MHz Contest 2010

[Peter Day]

Could the date of the 21/28 be moved so that it does not coincide with 
another contest I enjoy... the VK ZL Oceania Contest SSB section?  Last 
weekend I spent 24 hours from Sat 0800=Sun 0800 in the  VK/ZL and then 
had to decide whether or not to miss its last hour to start the 21/28 at 
at 0700 as the two contests overlapped!  After one 24 hour contest it 
took some effort at my 73 years to start a further 12 hour stint :-)

Also it's a great pity that the RSGB Convention falls across the same 
weekend as the CW session of the VK/ZL/Oceania contest. This contest is 
a big one and is most enjoyable, especially on CW. What would we say if 
one of our major RSGB Contests was  affected ion a similar way by a 
major convention?

BTW, please don't ask the VK ZL committee to move theirs :-) I think I 
can hear their "raspberry" from here already!
