[UK-CONTEST] Separate reflectors?

[John Lemay]

I'm another confirmed VHF'er (for 30+ years).

 

And I also thoroughly enjoyed a couple of sessions on the mic at M4U this
weekend in CQWW.

 

My vote is for a combined HF and VHF discussion group, using suitable
headers for those who wish to filter.

 

It's a shame that some of the HF boys just don't get it.

I assume with your limited interests in contests. That being where they are
CW only. You have failed to look at the bigger picture. There are a large
number of VHF types that are doing HF contest. Even I a seasoned VHF type
have been known to do the odd HF contest and do rather well! 3 in ssb afs
for example. I have even been know to operate from the qth of some very well
known dx'ers in contests.

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!
