In line with the comments elsewhere on this reflector, I would agree. 
In fact I would request that RBN and skimmer are only allowed in the 
Open section.

(at the moment with only two ageing CW ops and a reduced enthusiasm for 
overnight camping affairs, we are unable to participate in NFD at 
Bracknell. We all would like that to change but it seems impossible to 
get our younger members interested in CW contests).
