[UK-CONTEST] Contest awareness.

[Peter Hobbs]

Rob

On this occasion I have to agree wholeheartedly with Brian.  A central 
aim of any contest organiser is to maximise activity and entries; as 
much publicity as possible is therefore to everyone's advantage.  
Brian's point was not that WA7BNM's site had errors, just that it was 
unaware of some or all of the RSGB's events - something that he has 
kindly remedied. 

As for the BBC, where does "whatsonTV.com" get their forward content?  
For sure the Beeb will have taken pro-active action here.   Bearing in 
mind the perennial (and political) audience wars, I'd be surprised if 
they leave any free stone unturned!
