It is an Amateur Radio band, and we are Radio Amateurs.
This does not resemble a contest in any fashion. It simply promotes use of
a (mostly quiet) band.
Maybe it will draw a little interest from some who don't normally use 30M.
Who would object to that?

Should this be promoted?
It says not a Contest, well,, yeah, but it's a slippery slope for
sure. First this, then what, I already hear grumblings from NON
Contesters when a W1AW Portable station shows up on a WARC band or a
rare DX where it sounds just like a contest with the giant pile ups.
Should the amateur population pressure folk like this to NOT do stuff
like this?

I thought the WARC band were supposed to be free from this "CQ Nonsense"
contest BS?

EURAO Party - Autumn 2014: be digital, explore 30m
The European Radio Amateurs' Organization:
http://www.eurao.org
, together with the 30 Meter Digital Group: http://www.30MDG.org
announce a new party on the air, this time with the motto: "be digital,
explore 30m". Remember this is not a contest, it is just a radio meeting
with a few simple 'rules', better to call them recommendations.
Purpose: to promote this magnificent band, all digital modes, have fun and
meet other hams all over the world. Of course also SWLing is welcome.
Date & time: December 20th and 21st, 2014, Saturday and Sunday,
00:00-24:00 UTC.
Bands & modes: these are the recommended modes/frequencies (+/-) for the
30m band: CW/10.100-10.130, SSTV-N/10.132 and 10.144, WSPR/10.1386,
JT65/10.138-10.140, BPSK31/10.140-10.142, RTTY/10.142-10.145,
ROS/10.144-10.145, FeldHELL/10.144! , APRS/10.1491-10.1495 MHz. Tools:
HamSpots, Band Chart.
Exchange: because this is a QSO event, not a contest, you can talk about
whatever you want, in any language, and for as long as you like. Here are
some topic suggestions to get the conversation going: name, city, locator,
weather, antennas, rigs, etc.
