WARC BANDS

OK I can understand the ARRL point of no contesting for Field day and any big
event but I don't see a problem with us on there for the TDW event. I will go with the powers that be say, is fine with me. Without the WARC bands it will be a little easier to find everyone. I should have the new antenna up by then so that should help me here anyway, maybe I can even print a DL station or two that would be special here have not seen any DL stations here since the DX-DL award came out.

I too can understand the ARRL's point of view. This is only a point
of view as far as we go, we are not bound to their decision or the 'gentleman's agreement'. However, the 'gentleman's agreement' has one big point going for it. It rules out the whole discussion of how much contesting is too much on these bands. By following it there is no decision to be made nor line to creep forward. More appropriate to answer may be, do we want to be the one's who broke the 'agreement'? In the end it doesn't really matter as long as 'we' have more fun than headache doing it. 73 John AG4CZ OK I can understand the ARRL point of no contesting for Field dayand any big event but I don't see a problem with us on there for the TDW event.

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.

Instead of a "contest," we could run a "propagation experiment to see how
PSK31 fairs on various bands to certain stations around the world." "Points" could be awarded to determine how each station/area worked other "experimental" stations. *wink wink* Jeremy "The Sleeper" Allen N1ZZZ/4
