[UK-CONTEST] HF CW Field Day / G0CKV

[Don Field]

The Committee IS the adjudicators Stewart. In years gone by that's all they
did (pretty much) - wading through heaps of paper logs was enough in
itself. It's only since computers have made adjudication quicker (and more
accurate, despite some recent postings on here) that there has been time
for philosophical discussions of contesting policy - I guess it must have
happened in the past but probably 50 years ago and then put to bed.
