[UK-CONTEST] RSGB 1.8 MHz Contest

[Mike Farmer]

I cannot now recall the details, but for many years the 21/28 Mhz contest
was scored different to the published rules! It appears the CC have made an
attempt to go back to those days!   Seriously tho after many years of
attempting to get the RSGB to include SSB in the 160m contest I missed the
rule change and hence the contest (I have letters after my name which
include IDIOT!)  Still I am looking forward to next year (or is that this
year?).

HNY to all
