[UK-CONTEST] CQWW CW 2011 Results............

[Roger Western]

'Up 1' is very appropriate for contesting but ONLY if used by rare 
multipliers. And that will never happen. As soon as it starts to be seen as 
'acceptable' then every Tom LZ and Dick HA and Harry UR will be banging 
away, totally trashing the bands!

I am very glad that K3EST has finally promulgated a view on this. From West 
Africa every November it's a big disadvantage for us to not go split but we 
don't want to open the flood-gates.
73 de Roger/G3SXW.

Hi Brian

Your link had an 'f' missing at the end - all the results are there.

Interesting that Bob K3EST says 'split operation in a major contest should
not happen' - if you are in a rare location for WW CW with only average
antennas and power, this means you can't work anything on 40m, 80m or 160m -
maybe even 20m as well.
'Up 1' is quite a reasonable thing to do to actually be able to work
anything, even as a temporary measure. Others may disagree.
