[UK-CONTEST] Unnecessary 80m CC rule tweaking?

[g3ory at lineone.net]

Danny,

That sounds an interesting idea.  DMUARS was once a local Club 
but, as usually happens with University graduates, folk move away but 
wish to maintain contact.  I do not see the Contest Committee picking 
up on this one but it would be possible to run a 'phantom contest' and 
use the adjudicated <35km scores to give a placing in the 'local' 
results table.  The results could even be posted on this reflector!

Could I highlight a couple of points that seem to have been lost in

the
