Hello all

I think its great the way DARC get Region 1 mapped out, as TXF's link shows.
Why can't the RSGB do something like this ? Well done to DARC for putting
this on.

Talking of SSB FD....
As far as I am concerned, the sooner the RSGB HF CC align the UK SSB FD (and
the other FD contests for that matter) rules & sections with the rest of
Europe the better. The hobby is not getting any younger to be polite, and to
be more accurate, its dieing. Creating a "European Field Day" where the
entrants can compete within sections, at a National and European level would
create a far more interesting event than 24 hours in the rain mucking about
with short aerials and bits of wire. Something that the RSGB HF CC, and in
my opinion, the misguided, seem to want to promote.

There's plenty of other weekends for that sort of thing !

Faffing about with rule changes and creating a number of web pages that as
one subscriber described needing a PhD to do anything with is just a waste
of time and, to me, off putting.

Keep it simple, make it a challenge (not with bits of wire & tape
measures) make it interesting, and use technology to promote it.

Anyway, I'm off to pack my stuff, and get going to my new SSB FD site, and
let DARC know, so they can update the contest web site, PDQ, there we are,
technology in action !
