[UK-CONTEST] 50MHz UKAC and the new bandplan

[Tim Hugill]

I might as well start this one ....
Last night was the UKAC 50MHz contest, and we had a lot of fun at G4TSW in
Devon, working 60+ QSOs, and mostly operating on 50.137 or thereabouts.
We were aware of the new 50MHz bandplan which took effect on 1st January,
but after some debate at the club, we didn't think that it would effect
normal contest procedures.
So we are rather concerned to find that some are saying that contest
activity should be conducted above 50.200.
No-one that called us during the event mentioned this at the time, but there
a lot of "regulars" missing from our log, who may have not ventured below
50.200.
Have we missed an RSGBCC rule, or a general announcement, or mis-interpreted
the bandplan ?
But regardless of whether we get DQ'd or not, it was good fun, and certainly
blew the cobwebs out of the equipment.
