Re: WARC BANDS

Well
this opens up a whole discussion of how big is big and how small is small, and
how many contesters does it take to annoy those who consider contests to be
nothing more than a disruption to their normal activities. One of the great
things about ham radio is that it's a hobby of many facets. When we
get tired of one we can enjoy another. I enjoy contesting and often take part
but I also have a regular weekly schedule with some of my oldest and dearest
friends on 15 meters every Saturday morning. On contest weekends we QSY to 17
meters where propagation is not quite as good for us but at least we can
hold a clear frequency for an hour or so. Don't even think about stepping on
that. There is enough space for contesting without infringing on the
WARC bands. We can and should honor the original gentlemen's agreement and
keep all contests off the WARC bands without exception.
