[UK-CONTEST] Separate reflectors?

rsgb_lf_group at blacksheep.org used by the LF people still works but it 
seems there is no moderator in charge - anything that needs moderator 
action like unsubscribing a no longer used email address just goes into 
a black hole. It uses a very old version of Majordomo and is 
effectively unmaintainable. A replacement LF group has been set up on 
Yahoogroups which works well, but some members are reluctant to give up 
black sheep for some reason.

There is nothing wrong with the lists at uk-contests, they are largely 
well maintained and work well although some find the joining process 
confusing. Not sure one run from the RSGB website would be any better. 
Also although some of you like forums there is a strong desire for 
email reflectors with many of us - and Yahoogroups (at leaast for them 
moment) probably offers the best compromise between fora and 
reflectors.

I am in favour of splitting, but it should be a new separate VHF one 
and this one should stay as is for HF (since a lot of us were here long 
before the CC was combined).
