Just for grins I looked and the highest logged CW contest QSO I have is
28.189 (many above .100). I have about 2000 QSOs on 10M CW above 28.070
(over several years). A similar number on 20 and 15. I have seen above .070
packed almost as badly as the bottom end of the band. Many times you can
find rarer stations operating above .070. Big guns occasionally run up that
end. On 20M RTTY only about 300 QSOs above .100 and highest logged freq for
10M RTTY is 28.139.
For international contests you might want to remember that not all countries
have the band/mode restrictions the US has.

Yes, there has been operation close to the upper limits, but never without

It would be very interesting to see a list of what frequencies the top
scorers run on, as well as a frequency distribution chart incorporating
data
from all contest logs that do report actual qso qrgs.
I only have a 10 m dipole up right now (and a WARC trap dipole that I
probably could have loaded ..) so I was only on that band. Cabrillo
rounds your frequency so there is, in reality, more variation than
shows here, but regardless ... when I wasn't running on 28111.75 (yes,
that's why I chose it) I never heard anyone much higher than 28117.
Well, no one I could work. Yep, there's still another 183 kHz, but
ain't no body there. So you can make the argument, in fact I will,
that the other modes have plenty of room to spread out but don't.
