[UK-CONTEST] A different sort of 28MHz contest

[Chairman, RSGB Contest Committee]

It would be worth bringing up at the Contest Forum this 
weekend, and see what the general opinion is.  Of course, 
the newcomers we want to get on the air at are unlikely to 
be there at the Convention, but we can probably make a good 
guess as to their reaction.  I believe there are 10m 
activity sessions organised by one of the Scandinavian 
countries, and it would be worth seeing if there could be 
any overlap.

73,

Ed
