[UK-CONTEST] HF CW Field Day / G0CKV

[Stewart Bryant]

Don

However the committee do not NEED to be the adjudicators, they
only NEED to be the oversight body for the adjudicators.

Ideally, the adjudicators should be picked from a larger
pool of volunteers. The participants should be excluded
from adjudicating a contest, and the logs and adjudication
report should be put in the public domain for two weeks
for scrutiny before the result is finalized.

I am sure the pool of adjudication volunteers is much larger
than the pool of committee volunteers.

I know that work in the past required wading through heaps
of paper, but we do not live in the past.
