Unfortunately, as expected, there were complaints again this week after the 160m contest, including some that were along the lines of "why did they have to use <B>my</B> frequency. I'm not much of a 160m operator but it doesn't seem like there's usually all that much to work; you'd think the regulars would be happy to have some extra company.<BR/><BR/>73,<BR/> David, K2DBKDavid, K2DBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368040445069901890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998996.post-85704593732461608582007-12-04T20:52:00.000-05:002007-12-04T20:52:00.000-05:00DavidI agree.

It seems as though there are some who believe that because they meet every third Saturday of months ending in "y" on 14.2XX then everyone on the planet should stay clear of "their frequency". One EU ham in particular makes a big stink on the air before and after every SSB contest about how he'd either be on 17m or off the air because of the contest. <BR/><BR/>Of course, being a contester, I look at it through another lens. Contesting is great fun and 90+% of the contesters play by the rules and respect on-going QSOs. If nothing else, contesting certainly shows governing authorities (FCC, etc.) that ham radio is alive and well. <BR/><BR/>Great blog.
