[UK-CONTEST] New RSGB HF Contest... ?

[Steve GW4BKG]

I have to agree with Nigel here.
I also raised this aspect 2 years ago at the RSGB Convention but my comments 
fell on deaf ears.
Listening to Darren 5B/G0TSM on 10m ssb he is having some difficulty in 
extracting the "Postal District"
from "G" stations.
You would have thought that everyone would know his own post code !
Do some stations even bother to read the rules before they decide to 
participate.
