[CQ-Contest] Actually .....(This is my frequency)

[Bob Perring]

I agree with what you say.
Pretty cool philosophy on the "this is my frequency  mentality".

We do disagree on one pretty crucial point, however.

If I want a frequency, I'm going for it.
If someone wants my frequency, let 'em  go for it.
After all, it is a contest.

There are ways to improve your ability to counteract another strong 
signal.
And there are ways to allow room for others in the spectrum.

As but one example, a lot of big guns have antennas optimized for 
forward gain without any attention to optimizing F/B ratios. Duh !?

Most race cars will get dented a few times.
Even those that win.
