[UK-CONTEST] Contest Letters

[Roger Thawley]

Folks,

Interesting thread; many perspectives. My thing is VHF/UHF rather than HF
and contests seem to be, by and large, the biggest driver of activity on
those bands these days.

So, as a comparative outsider, a question crosses my mind - given the nature
of the issue, why do HF contest rules not set aside a piece of the band to
be free from contest activity, for the enjoyment of non-contesters?

Another thought, if a written response is to be made to the RadCom letter/s,
an approach which may carry more weight, is a single, well argued letter,
with a lengthy list of signees. Given the electronic wizardry immediately to
hand, it's clearly not beyond the abilities of a group of people, with a
passion to share on a subject, to draft a letter among themselves and adding
their names to it.

Just my 15p worth (inflation, for those who are wondering - feel free to
blame a government of your choice!)

Roger, G0BSU
