[UK-CONTEST] Separate reflectors?

Mon Oct 29 07:46:26 EDT 2012

On the contrary you would if subscribed to both reflectors, receive a
similar number of e-mails to the present. I would not receive the VHF crap
about multipliers and real reports and the like. E-mails about specific VHF
matters are of no  interest to those that do not operate VHF contests.  No
more than a Yachtsman would like e-mails about powerboat racing unless he
also did that as well.
	I also am in favour of a splitting of VHF / HF on the Contest
Committee even if arranged as Sub committees within an overall CC, for
similar reasons and to enable common if any uses of Software etc.  But that
is an issue for the RSGB board to fix

Hi,

That's ok if you don't have other interests outside of radio and are already

subscribed to too many relfectors.

No split, and prefix with VHF if that's you preference.
