I am QRP and like to run. After I get tired of trying to bust through the
pileups with my weak signal I choose to run. There is little chance I can make
it to EU and the band is just too crowded above 1810. I find it easier to find
a quiet frequency below 1810 and I have more success there. A rule change
would eliminate some of my enjoyment. Any EU station that calls me is
obviously outside their frequency allocation. We have the same issue during
CQWW phone contests on 40m. Other areas of the world can transmit where we
cannot. We have to know and follow the rules of our country.
