CT-USER Mailing List

[RHILTO at acxiom.com]

Jim AD1C sent out his monthly note about directing CT-related messages to the 
correct list, and I jumped on him right here in public.  That was wrong; 
regardless of my opinion I had no business airing a rude, sarcastic message to 
the entire list.  I have apologized to Jim and taken the thread private.

How about requiring them to use all-band verticals?

There already are contest free zones - the WARC bands, CW during a SSB 
contest, SSB during a CW contest, etc. You will never please the 
contest-haters with a contest free zone if you don't protect THEIR 
frequency, which they've been using every day for the past 20 years, and 
assume a squatters-rights ownership. Ergo, a contest free zone would be a 
bad precedent, which could induce further attempts to squeeze us into 
smaller spaces.
