[UK-CONTEST] VHF-Contest CQ Calls - a plea!

[Ken Eastty]

Too late for VHF FD but it would really help on VHF & UHF if when 
stations call CQ they would include their approximate location (not 
locator).
I frequently find that I hear a station right down in the noise who may 
not hear my reply because he's in a null
of the beam. If I knew where the station was I could make sure that I'm 
beaming in the right direction otherwise
I have to try to find the best beam heading which with the typical speed 
of most rotators can take up to 45 seconds
if for instance I'm beaming NW & the station that I'm trying to work is 
on a NE heading (my rotator has its stop at North). Alternatively I turn 
the beam through 360 deg only to find that it was in the right direction 
in the first place!
