Jerry, you missed the point of my post. Nobody was violating any rules. SSB on 7.070 is legal (in fact, encouraged during contests) in IARU Region 1 but not in IARU Region 2. The problem is the disagreement in band plans between the IARU regions, on a frequency that supports world-wide comm.
...and yes, like you, I often stand down during the CQ WW contests. Maybe clean up the logbook or catch up on QSL cards.
