This was the relevant rule in force for the 1999 contest. The entire rules
are on-line at (http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-10m.html).
6. Miscellaneous:
6.4 The frequencies from 28.3 through 28.35 MHz are designated as a
non-contest window. Stations may not call CQ contest in this window.
There was nothing in the rules to indicate that this did not apply to all
stations, W/VE, DX, or otherwise.
