[UK-CONTEST] UK Contest data modes in CC

[john reynolds]

I believe CC was intended to encourage and train operators in all modes of on air communications used in contesting.

Before the CC's I had never used Ry or PSK.

Probably because of my age,it took me a long time to configure and use Data Modes and it was thanks to other local Amateurs that I am now 
comfortable with all modes.

I do not think DATA should be dropped from these Contests, but it could be modified!!

May I suggest that on alternate Months RTTY only is used and it be left to the individual to use whatever speed they wish to achieve maximum points.

The following Month PSK would be the mode and here again speed is left to the individual.

May I also point out that a close "Observer" who has suffered Contesting for Years considers that the "SHOUTING" mode should be dropped ...........
it is most unsociable  around the house!!
