[UK-CONTEST] RSGB Contest Results -- 1st 1.8MHz Contest

[Chris G3SJJ]

Exactly Clive. I supported the bi-modal event initially but decided the original CW format with its long history was preferable. Hence my comment 
regarding the un-announced hijacking of the long standing trophy for a popular and highly contended CW event.

Justin G4TSH should be the recipient of the Somerset Trophy and Andy G4PIQ should deservedly be the recipient of an alternative trophy.

I commented a few months ago that I detected a "tail wagging the dog" syndrome. The presentation of the results and the trophy cock-up does nothing to 
dipel that feeling.
