[UK-CONTEST] G0TZZ queries

[Chris Rolinson G7DDN]

"No, because it's not either-or".  

In which case, may I respectfully suggest that as many contests as possible have an "S&P only" section, a "run-only" section and a ""mixed S&P and run" section? (objection solved?)

And in addition may I also propose...

1. That the RSGB introduce some kind of Foundation-based contest, where ONLY foundation licence holders can run - that should encourage some new blood to try contesting out without getting "swamped" with 400w+ signals. After all Foundation license holders are usually only just getting over being mike-shy when they come on air...

2. That the 2m/70cm UKACs (and maybe other VHF/UHF contests) have some kind of section that rewards, in some way, taking part with a vertical antenna - I recall that Callum brought something like this up in the past and for the life of me, I cannot think of one good reason against it.

In case it is not obvious, I am not being awkward for the sake of it;  these suggestions are aimed at getting more NEW stations interested in contesting on the basis that they can actually ACHIEVE something within a given event.  

Doesn't the future of UK contesting depend on getting more people interested in it?
