I'm up to contact #30, others have reached the 100+ mark

As I Australian living in the UK, I personally can't understand the
"Dial-A-Contest" principle, so Ashley it's not just "whinging poms" that
can't understand the need to have this pointless contests on the Internet.

"It isn't the good old days of the colonies when people actually gave a
rats what pommies had to say"

Didn't Australia just vote to keep the monarchy? I believe we did and voted
to continue to be ruled by the UK.

I personally voted against, but the majority voted to continue being ruled
by the UK, so in a way Ashley our Country agreed to "give a rats" what the
UK poms say"

Sorry just had to throw that in the lighten the mood

I didn't vote for the system to be altered because they didn't offer a
directly elected option, and if the claytons republic option had gotten
through then no second chance would have been available.

This way the republic is still on the agenda and there is likely to be
another referendum in the medium term (say the next 20 years), with a good
chance it'll include a directly elected president (or Judge Advocate
General) or whatever you want to call the re-named directly elected
replacement for the govenor general.

You are missing a detail. You can't access the systems with a PC. That's
what Dan, Walt and all the others who are ignorant of the facts are confused
about. Perhaps the title "contest" is a misnomer, "QSO Party" might have
been more appropriate.

But anything which gets hams out of the sofa and back on air can't be a bad
thing.

Now I understand, alas I am just a very humble simple man from oop north,
maybe the rsgb should set one or two up for some of the new licencees.
preferably on27mhz
