Hello all

Jeepers my Delete key is worn out by this latest thread !

Let's have a reality check :

1.  there is no such thing as a 'level playing field' in contesting (except 
something approaching it in WRTC as mentioned)

2.  it is *impossible* to regulate contest entrants on the basis of antenna 
gain, ERP or any other variable quantity which would have to be measured 
accurately on-site to be valid (even then the results could be challenged)

It's maybe just me, but the gap between the thinking processes and interests 
of UK HF contesters and UK VHF contesters seems to be widening.

In the U.S.A. they have a separate reflector for VHF contesting and HF 
contesting - seems like a good idea.
