Unlike some others, I think short (6 to 12 hour) "activity
periods" would be good for 17 and 12 meters. I would see that
they are scheduled at times when there isn't a major activity
on the older bands so as not to "fill up" all the bands with
"contest" type activity and I would do only one band at a time
- again to avoid "contest monopolization."
Note since 30 meters is shared with point to point, I would not
schedule any "activity period" there.
