Don't forget that 28.3 to 28.35 is declared a no contest zone in the contest rules! Lots of CQs going on there today! Hate to see anyone DQed. 73, Paul KR4YL -- End of Forwarded Message -- CQ-Contest

Note the SSTV QSL on pg. 67 of Dec. 98 QST. I believe the ARRL is supporting and encouraging SSTV'ers to QRM and harass contesters by running such a "ad". 73 Robert -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.c

The contest-free zone idea was ill-conceived from the outset. Here is one example of how it is broken: The "contest-free zone" is 28300-28350. The novice band in Argentina is 28300-28350. So what ab

I read the actual ARRL rules before the contest. www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/98/rules-10m.html 6.4. The frequencies from 28.3 through 28.35 MHz are designated as a non-contest window (This me
I guess there needs to be a freq on 10 meters where the lids can continue to be lids and learn nothing from listening to experienced contesters. Sad set of affairs to say the least... Gotta keep the
Art, it's this kind of mentality that keeps non-contesters PO'ed at us contesters. I have found that the 10-10 group is very courteous for the most part, and they are ALWAYS on 10 meters keeping the
Hi Bob! The big problem with the illegal CB'ers seems to be below 28.350 and it seems that contest activity seems to be the best way to keep these folks off the band. (Below 28.300 its especially bad
With all this discussion of the "contest free zone" in the ARRL 10 Meter Contest, I find it ironic that when the novice/tech folks were granted SSB privileges on 10 meters, they were put on 28.3-28.
If there is a contest free zone from 38.3 to 28.35, how long do you think it will take the CB'ers to figure that's the place to be on a contest weekend? 73 Tom W7WHY -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.

Hi Tom! The issue at hand is that for the 10 meter contest 28.300 to 28.350 is supposed to be contest-free... and that's why I'm advocating that the ARRL change this particular rule...besides that it
