[UK-CONTEST] VHF - Why no single operator 6 hour section?

[Rob Harrison]

Hi Eddie,

Looks like you could enter "O", "6O" or "SO", but not "6S".

"6O" looks the more likely quote:-

"Rules as per section "O" except stations may only operate for a maximum of 
6 hours. Entrants may choose between any continuous 6 hour period in which 
to operate (e.g. 1500-2100, or 1917-0117) or alternatively split the 6 hour 
period into two segments separated by at least 1 hour off time.
If entering this section operation of the same station by the same 
operator(s) is not allowed outside the chosen 6 hour period.
Serial numbers must start at 001 for this 6 hour period, and you cannot 
enter both this section and the full contest.
In multi-band contests the same single 6 hour period must be used on all 
bands. "

Basically if you are portable or multi-op you would go into "O", but as you 
did 6 hours portable it will be "6O"

My interpetation, maybe someone on committee will confirm or not.

Tnx for the contact BTW, 73,

Bob G8HGN
