[UK-CONTEST] Separate reflectors?

[Roger Western]

The concept of cross-fertilisation of contest ideas across HF and VHF 
confuses me. I have never witnessed it. Football players are mostly not at 
all interested in scrum techniques; canoeists don't care a hoot about how to 
reef a sail . . . I can see some merit in Committee collaboration, e.g. 
adjudication software, but we are two disparate population sub-groups. One 
is not better than the other - just different. There's a minority who enjoy 
both and that's fine.

Forgive my generalisations!

To all

My tupence worth, please do not have separate reflectors as we are too
fractured now. Just keep contesting under one forum, if people want to only
address VHF issues then head it accordingly and HF issue the same, sometimes
the idea of exchanging ideas across the two areas of contesting works well,
do not fix what is not broken!
