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

[GM4JR]

Sadly I won't be at the Forum / Convention due to work commitments.
Hopefully you can Ed based on interest?

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.
