[UK-CONTEST] RSGB DX Contest Update

[Peter Hobbs]

Hi Chris & Clive

Excellent!  Well, nearly excellent, but many thanks for taking account 
of all the input from this reflector.

I'd still like to see 24 hours available, with 12 or 18 hours counting, 
otherwise there isn't much point including 80m, at least for overseas 
participants.  This concept used to be a pain to administer, but the new 
adjudication engine as used for BERU should be able to police with the 
mandated gap between sessions.

I still see very little benefit in setting sections purely by power, 
because the main limitation suffered by those in restricted or otherwise 
controlled sites is their ability to erect gain antennas.

Finally, 5 days remains too short a time to submit logs for a 
substantial proportion of the target audience.  I see no justification 
for not allowing hardworking participants some time over the following 
weekend.

You have mentioned a time-frame in relation to the RSGB Convention.  
Historically, the Contest Forum (12.15 Sunday) has far too much to cover 
(I'm being kind here!) to allow any real discussion of these 
proposals.   What about a separate slot, which we should be able to get 
at least pencilled into the programme?  Alternatively, those keen enough 
could run on over lunch . . .

Thanks again for the work you guys have put in - it really is appreciated.

73, Peter G3LET
