[UK-CONTEST] Proposal for change to rule for UKAC's for 2013

[Rob Harrison]

Hi,

Ray my comment was not meant to stop anyone commenting, I posted it for 
info' only. If you wish to debate it on here fine, and it seems to have 
started already! But please also direct your comments to VHFCC, as this is 
not the official reflector for the RSGB Contest committee.

As debate has started, what I will say is that I may pick up the odd extra 
mult from an OZ/SM or HB9, and that under good conditions, not flat ones. 
All the other near continent countries are within range of the op's from 
outside the SE. These are worked regularly by those, so the stats quo will 
more or less be maintained.

I applaud the efforts to better serve all particapants, but I don't think 
this quite there yet.

Off for lunch now, I'll pick up any flak later, 73,

Bob G8HGN
