[UK-CONTEST] 2m UKAC results

[g3ory at lineone.net]

Hello David,

This one seems to come up at regular intervals and my view is that 
the peer pressure generated in Clubs by having a 'no-limit' on numbers 
is a bigger positive than the resulting unequal team sizes is a 
negative.  The rules have ecouraged a huge number of Bolton Club 
members to try contesting, and that is an enormous positive to me.  My 
Club of 30 members managed to get about 22 or 23 on the air for the 80m 
AFS.



If you want the same Clubs to win this contest that win the 2m AFS 
contest then make the rules the same and have fixed team sizes. I 
believe it is more healthy to have a different Club at the top and 
hence am a committed supporter of the present arrangement.



There might be a case to have separate categories for 'large'Clubs and 
'small' Clubs.  As to where you draw the line? Presumably one more than 
the membership of one's own Club!!
