CALLSIGN: SM5S CONTEST: UK/EI DX CONTEST SSB CLAIMED-SCORE: 13132 CATEGORY-ASSISTED: ASSISTED CATEGORY-BAND: ALL CATEGORY-MODE: SSB CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP CATEGORY-POWER: LOW OPERATORS: SM5SIC CLUB: SK5LW NAME: Göran Ingemar Backman ADDRESS: Uttervägen 6 ADDRESS-CITY: 644 36 TORSHÄLLA ADDRESS-COUNTRY: SWEDEN SOAPBOX: Thank You for a new nice HF contest. However there was a lack of contest SOAPBOX: stations from UK and EI. In the same time there were many other stations SOAPBOX: from UK and EI, that did not take part in the contest. Some of them had SOAPBOX: even special callsigns. I would like the organizers to look for means to SOAPBOX: increase the participation from UK and EI. This asks probably for several SOAPBOX: measures. I would like to suggest that You also would have an internal SOAPBOX: competition in UK/EI. This is done in SAC and the main issue for SM SOAPBOX: is try to beat OH and the Finns try to defend their leading position. In SOAPBOX: the same way OZ and LA try to get the bronze. Why not have an internal SOAPBOX: competition between Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland and the small islands SOAPBOX: as a separate group, the "islands"? That Wales, England and Scotland are SOAPBOX: defined parts of UK is probably not a highly disputed issue. If Ireland SOAPBOX: would like to compete as one entity with better chances to win or two SOAPBOX: parts which lesser chances to be number one, I leave to the Irishmen to SOAPBOX: decide. However all the people living on the "real" islands, I mean SOAPBOX: Shetland, Orkney, Hebrides, Man, Scilly, Wight, Jersey, Guersney, where You SOAPBOX: have to go with boat, because there is no bridge or tunnel to the mainland, SOAPBOX: therefore making the living there more dependable of the winds and waters, SOAPBOX: giving a harsher life for the people there, that with their work contribute SOAPBOX: to the wealth of the mainlanders; could once a year be remembered as a own SOAPBOX: group. In this way every contester or club from UK/EI would have a individual SOAPBOX: score in the competetion but furthermore all the scores from Wales, England, SOAPBOX: would be pooled together to find out which part in UK/EI is number one. Is it SOAPBOX: the Welshmen, the Englishmen, the Scots, the Irish or the "Islanders"?
