[UK-CONTEST] Separate reflectors?

Hi Peter,

Well I sent an email to the address I used to use at about 11;30 and it 
hasn't appeared anywhere in my email boxes. That's 
vhf-contests at blacksheep.org

I also looked at the blacksheep website and all the links didn't work. 
http://www.blacksheep.org/ so maybe it's all defunct now.

We really need an RSGB reflector off of the CC web site, rather than 
hijacking this one. Combined with headers to seperate HF and VHF topics.
