Sorry Mats, I did not mean to cast aspersions on the SAC - I think the
same thing could be said with respect to contest-free zones in all
contests, or at least all single-mode contests. After all, the WARC
bands and the other modes are always available to non-contesters, as is
lots of spectrum within the contest bands and mode, except perhaps on
SSB during CQWW.
