The current scoring scheme for UKAC VHF/UHF/SHF contests has been unpopular and is under review. The RSGB have set up a poll to decide which of two options to use in future. One is a slightly modified version of the current rules, which mark down contacts with some locators including those in our area. The other is used in Nordic countries and doesn't discriminate against any locators. The BBRC and Bracknell Groups collaborate as the Triple B contest group and our scores have gone down under the current rules, so it seems likely that members may favour the Nordic scheme. Anyone who has entered a UKAC contest in the last 5 years can vote (including those entering this month's contests). The vote can be found here: http://rsgb.org/main/blog/news/rsgb-notices/2017/07/30/online-voting-for-ukac-scoring-system-2018/ The UKAC contest calendar is here: http://www.rsgbcc.org/vhf/ |
