FWIW, about half of the DX I worked in last weekend's contest was in the
1830-35 "window". I run only barefoot, and having some space where there are
no big east coast CQ machines certainly helps the SOLP and QRP ops.
I realize that many topband contesters have no use for LP or QRP; however,
keeping in mind that the contests are for everyone, a little space for the
little guys would be very nice. Of course, I don't think it's going to happen!
BTW, it sure is fun creeping in under some of these CQ machines who, in many
cases are alligators, and working DX. Sort of burns 'em up when you don't
answer!!
