HF Contests Committee. Introduction.
Many amateurs enjoy participating
in HF contests, either as an outlet for those who are competitive
by nature, or for a variety of other reasons. Some use contests
to test a new antenna or to check their station equipment,
while others use them to sharpen up their operating ability,
to work an elusive new country for an award, or for many other
reasons. There is another important plus factor and that is
the contribution that contests make to the long term interests
of the amateur service by ensuring band occupancy, particularly
on the higher frequencies during the minimum sunspot years.
Contests on 21 and 28MHz are a key factor in the Society's
HF policy, as is the need to balance this activity with restraints
to minimise interference to non-participants.
The committee is responsible for
running all facets of the RSGB HF contests program. As a 'working
committee' it's members are expected to get involved in the
processes of administration and adjudication of contests as
well as defining future policy. The committee conduct business
through e-mail, teleconferencing and face to face meetings
which are usually held several times a year in central London.
If you're a newcomer to HF contesting you may
find reading the RSGB
HF Contesting Guide interesting. Even if you're a little
more experienced, you may find some of the information contained
in the guide helpful.

The Radio Society of Great Britain (RSGB) is the
national membership organisation for Amateur Radio enthusiasts.
The society was first founded in 1913 and incorporated in
1926.
Our patron is HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, KG, KT.
Amateur Radio Licences were issued to the first UK Radio Amateurs
in 1934.
RSGB membership is open to all who have an interest
in Radio Communications. Membership gives you a voice in how
amateur radio is governed in the UK and the opportunity to
influence the direction and policy of the RSGB.
The RSGB is a membership-focused organisation. The national
governing body (The Board) is elected nationally. The regional
governing body (The Regional Council) is elected on a regional
basis. The day-to-day management of the society is under the
control of a small team of full time employees who are based
at the society's head office in Potters Bar. The RSGB publishes
the monthly magazine Radio Communication (RadCom) but membership
to the RSGB means much more than receiving RadCom each month.
As well as its representative role the RSGB offers a full
range of membership services No matter what aspect of Amateur
Radio interests you RSGB membership is relevant and important.
