I have to agree this is a retrograde step. I was really disappointed to see
this presented as a fait-acompli to the community last night. I think the
very fact that the first thread on the new HF reflector was one which should
be common ground across VHF and HF (trophy policy) demonstrates the
short-sightedness of the change.

Sometimes you have to do about what's right for the community, rather than
just what will appease the most vociferous people. I didn't recognize
Roger's straw poll with a 58/42 result as a clear enough mandate for change.

That said - this facility is run by volunteers. I'd like to recognize and
appreciate the work put in by the moderators over the years since I think
Tim, G4VXE set up the group many years ago. I'd also like to recognize the
great support (which I guess includes financial support since I don't know
how this forum is funded) from contesting.com which has hosted the lists for
us over the years.

I'd firmly like to see a single group maintained because I believe it's in
the best interests of UK contesting. However - fragmenting us into further
groups such as the newly proposed ukcontesting group would be an even worse
result. A single group - on Yahoo if that's the forum that people prefer -
would be vastly preferable to the long term health and consistency of UK
contesting.

73,

Andy, G4PIQ

DOH! - two is one more that needed, but I suggest people join both and live
with it - retrograde step in my opinion, but that doesn't count for much.
