Since all of the Spring FD logs should be in by now and processed by VKCL in the same way, doesn't that effectively make it a level playing field ?? I realise we could all re-process and resubmit our logs with a revised VKCL version but is that necessary ?
On a slightly different note, I ALWAYS add the /P to the callsign for portable stations. Where it gets difficult is if the station is portable in a different state. Do you enter the callsign as VK2XXXX/VK4/P or just VK2XXX/P and just ignore the locational data ?
On yet a different note, it was probably good for those in mid & southern VK2, VK3, VK5 and maybe VK7 that the FD was not held a week later given the prevailing weather conditions over the last few days. Certainly not ideal from either gear damage from water ingress or greater absorbption at microwave frequencies points of view.
I have to wonder if the Spring FD results will make it to the WIA Contest Champion scores because the Winter FD results still haven't !
In 2ZRH's words, those are my "2.2c" of comments, GST included.....
