Would the Ross Hull work better if it was just an early January contest and not a month long drag? Say the second full weekend of January?
Why?
For
We all know it is on for one burst
Non contesters would get the gist
The history of the Ross Hull is not lost
Question - Has it ever been a popular contest? is the format flawed? Looking back at the VK6UU AR records 5~10 logs were the norm in the 1950s -OK it was not that easy to get on 6m+ back then...
Against
Conditions may be **** on the one weekend (but then most are in the similar boat)
it has always been done the old way
