40 meters is really messed up and the FCC needs to act on it now.... Jon, the
problem is that
many of the RTTY guys in the contest would intentionally QRM those doing the
NAQP on CW...
I think that is what pissed off alot of people. RTTY contesting is growing in
popularity and the
spill over to frequencies that were mainly not used by RTTY guys in the past
is a prime example of this.
I think the best solution is for one of the parties to reschedule their contest
to another weekend.
