ARRL Field Day Rules permitted operation on WARC bands until recent
years and WARC bands are excluded now. I think it was considered that
Field Day was not really a contest, but the rules were changed when more
rigs were available to work those bands and it was felt that exposure to
those bands on FD was no longer needed. 73, John, K4BAI.
