[UK-CONTEST] Separate reflectors?

[G3WVG]

Hi Rob.
Good to hear your input, although I can't really follow your logic.
You seem to be suggesting that because you have interests outside radio (I guess you are not unique in that respect) and that you are subscribed to too many reflectors that we should follow your lead.
No.. Clive's  point is entirely valid.. Those that want both HF and VHF can subscribe to both.
