Being a relatively new contesting ham I have followed the DX window question
with interest. I thought that most people would just agree where the window
is and abide by it. I see that it isn't that simple. I was informed by
someone that I was in the window and upon looking down at the frequency
noticed I was in fact in the window. Seems I had been listening for a hole
to run a frequency and plopped right down in between (at least) two other
hams in the DX window between 30-35. I apologized and moved. But hearing a
couple of the comments. ..". The rest of the time I do as I darn well please
and whiners are ignored (or trasmpled)... " suggests that some just don't
care.. and in the "gentlemans" band yet. All for what? a chance at a plaque
with your name on it? If you need one that bad let me know and I'll buy you
one.

Name not withheld.
Stand up for what you believe
