[UK-CONTEST] Important message from the UK Contest Reflector Administrator - HF and VHF

[PETER CLEALL]

Perhaps we need to run with the 3 separate groups until Christmas for
contesting discussions advice and files/photos.

Extend THIS FORUM until end Jan to discuss group requirements,
difficulties-advantages of the yahoo systems. Then from  Christmas to
late January  use one of the Yahoo groups to run a proper poll of
peoples requirements and preferences. Then make an appropriate
decision as to simplest way forward.

I appeal to everyone to not use the yahoo groups for their moans and
whinges, but keep them to THIS FORUM

regards Peter G8AFN
