Sorry Brian, not budging! In any case, the answer is the same, just called something else. What would you like to call it? (In the context of the question that was asked). Australasia? Australia and Papua New Guniea? Australia, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand and Pacific Islands?
Oceania - Wikipedia is an interesting read. Specifically the extract “Amateur radio follows the geographic rather than geopolitical boundaries of Oceania. The Worked All Continents award includes all of Indonesia and the Philippines in Oceania, though it places Easter Island with Chile and makes some other minor changes”.
Maybe I need my wrist slapping for using the word “continent” without degree level geology to authorise it, but I kind of guess you really know what I was asking in the question!
Jimmy will not win everything today. Try as he might (and has done), he will not beat this for the day’s Pedantry Award. Sleep easy Brian, it is safely yours!
If you ignore geology, Tom, it can go back to what I (and probably you) learned in School, there were seven continents, and neither Hawaii nor Micronesia were part of Australia - but have it your own way, I’m a congenital picture-straightener!
If we are being pedantic about some of these answers then I must cast some doubt over my answer to question 8.
The question asked about the most circular hill. My answer is for the most circular activation zone. I fear that the question has not been answered properly as, although the two conditions are not mutually exclusive, I have only accounted for one aspect of circularity.
However I would like to ask the quiz master whether he can accurately answer this question!
ALSO… how is he defining a “hill” versus a “mountain”? Are we expected to examine different types of topographical features in this question without actually knowing what he is looking for?
Harder, I don’t know but I think a selection of questions should be devised and reserved for our brothers across the pond who are waking up to find they slept through the fun.
Difficult one Andy. I don’t know too much about hills and walking trails in North America, nor do I join in with their sleep patterns. Maybe it would be better if they devised their own quiz?
Come to think of it, every member of the SOTAwatch reflector has the opportunity to devise and set a quiz, so maybe we can have a few more? I can’t think of what else to ask, and I would quite like to participate in one as a competitor.
