[UK-CONTEST] Contest Letters

[Jim Kellaway]

Roger,

A very good point and to be honest the RSGB are very good at this.  Even
some other contests do this. Unfortunately not everybody reads the rules and
inevitably the free portion gets used.

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
