The short answer is: Dont ! 40 m is definately a band for CW, just like 160. 73 Rag LA5HE _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://list
I came on 40 m this morning, only to find several phone stations as low as 7012 ! It is very disappointing that so many phone contesters show no respect for the IARU bandplan ! What a nuisance ! Ther

For instance, why are you proposing these rules? Because present situation creates problesm for everybody , incl non-contesters. Why limit SSB and not CW? if in region 1 CW is allowed between 7000 an
