Proposed New International Contest Rules - Request for Views

[G8GKQ]

The Dutch Amateur Radio Society, VERON, have proposed some changes to the IARU ATV Contest Rules. The biggest change is that the contest should take place on the second weekend in June. Judging by the response this weekend, I fully support that change. The other minor changes include:

- Times extended to "12:00 UTC on the Saturday until 18:00 UTC on the Sunday".

- Use of remote stations (not repeaters) authorised.

- "Rover" stations authorised.

Please could you take a look at the full text here: http://www.batc.org.uk/contests/VA14_C5 ... 0Rules.pdf and come back to me by next Sunday (22 June) with any comments that you want the BATC to put forward on your behalf?

Thanks
