Why NOT limit contests on 20M to below 14.297?
Quite simply, there are plenty of "contest free zones."
They are the "WARC" bands and the "opposite" mode. Even
during CQWW Phone or ARRL DX Phone, 17 and 12 meters
are relatively lightly used. 17 is a good substitute
for 20 or 15 and 12 is certainly usable in lieu of 15
or 10 (although the contest activity rarely fills 10
or 15 completely).
And let's not forget 60m! 5 fixed channels seems ready-made for net
operation....
