I thought initially when the WARC bands were opened that they wouldn't be used for contests, but it looks like that isn't the case. Note to contesters: please do us a favor and move up to 10M. There

With all due respect, and my apologies for this going off topic... But I know of NO contests on 17 meters. I do know of many ACCUSATIONS of contests, primarily from people who mistake DXpeditions for
Yes. Right now, there's a French DXpedition on Tromelin Island (VERY remote, near Madisgascar), a country that is VERY rare. Their location (roughly halfway around he world from California) makes 17M

My guess is you are hearing the thousands of DXers calling FT4TA on Tromelin Island. This is pretty rare DX and has not been on the air since 2002. FT4TA ops have been very busy operating 24/7 with

The seem to hear very well. I've been traveling and just returned home yesterday afternoon. So far, I've worked them on 30M CW, 17M SSB, and long path on 40M CW. They were very good copy on 30M, but

The 12 and 17 meter bands do not need special event stations to generate interest. They both are used by DXers and therefore have all the activity they need. Better pileup management by the DX statio
Recently I hosted W1AW/7 from my station on both 30 and 17 meters for W1AW/7 WA CW mode only. Based upon the original date of the complaint - most likely I'm one of the op's that you-all are whining

Reed, you are perfectly OK with what you did, but I still do not believe that there is any contest in the world on 17m. There was something rotten in Denmark there. Possibly some LID who didn't know
Reed, There are no contests on 17 meters. There are lids on 17 meters... and, sad to say, everywhere else... who get a sadistic kick out of messing with other people. Such as calling "CQ CONTEST" out
OK thanks guys. Guess it was some lid because that is only time I heard it. But someone else mention it too so thought the rules might have changed. I'm retired so I have the weekdays to enjoy all ba
