[UK-CONTEST] NFD and DARC Field Days

[ukcontest at btconnect.com]

Reading the DARC rules: Plenty of us I suppose, and as I regularly enter the
DARC SSB FD event I certainly do.

As you will know, there are also other sections in the DARC contest. So
plenty of scope for those who wish to play with wire in a field, muck about
with piles of power, or fancy operating techniques, or skimmer / cluster
technology as well as, or rather than, enter a contest.

So I disagree Dave. I think DARC have just about right, and what it sounds
like to me is a proper Restricted Field Day type of contest with well
defined rules.

On slightly different note, I wrote to the RSGB HFCC proposing rule changes
in SSB FD. Perhaps whoever proposed the rule changes to NFD would let us all
know the rationale. I am bemused about some of it so far, and am now
starting to plan this years entry into the SSB event. So stable rules would
be useful, or a consistent indication of they might be, based upon the CW
NFD event.

I wonder how many UK entrants have actually read the rules for DARC FD?

In all sections:
Maximum one TX, one RX.  Site more than 100m than from nearest power 
line or inhabited building.....

In un-assisted section:
One single element antenna.

Sounds much more restricted than the new RSGB Rules!
