Okay, Bill brought up another point that I forgot to mention in my
previous e-mail. I heard lots of contest activity in the
'non-contest' window...and only 1, yes ONE, non-contest signal in the
28.3-28.35 window. Not to mention that neither of the participants
were N/T+'s...and that this was at 8:30 PM local, when there was maybe
one other signal on the phone segment.

Yes, and there were darn few signals above 28.100, and most of those
were higher class contesters (including me) trying to scare up some
8-pointers.
I do appreciate the efforts by the ARRL to post things here to
CQ-Contest.
