Bud that was a reply right on the money. Thank you. I have received several
emails criticizing me and asking me to define the holes in the band I've
been referring to for SS & CQWWSSB. I am a contester, if I can fit my signal
in a space it's a hole. A 2khz space is a big hole. There were many of those
holes in SS on 80m and on 40m during CQWWSSB. I hope that clarifies my
definition of a hole.

Kelly, you may be technically correct and "win" that battle here on this
(contest-oriented) reflector, but everyone blindly following that advice
will help contesters lose the more important war of public opinion. If
contesters *don't* make some attempt to leave open spaces, we'll
*totally* offend every other operating segment out there!
I remember the "good ole days" when we didn't start domestic CW contests
below 3.530, 7.030, 14.030, etc. So today we're "unable" to do what we
did a few decades ago, even with all the better technology (narrower RX
filters, etc.) at our disposal? Doesn't speak well of us, to my mind.
Bud, W2RU
