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

[Neil Ackerley]

There is one aspect being overlooked by limiting the number of members from 
a club; with the unlimited number of members even the very lowly scores 
count and encourage that member to better things. We in DMU ARS have a total 
membership of 26 which is certainly not large and those members are far from 
being all contest oriented. But several members started contesting very 
modestly a couple of years ago and now are getting respectable scores. These 
members would not have bothered to come on if their lowly scores did not 
count.

The approach has increased the number of competent contesters in I am sure 
many clubs.

These CC 80 contests are not CQWW or NFD

Neil, G3RIR

You took the words out of my mouth Clive ... 5 in a team is a very good
idea!
