Well thought out OM.
I think most SSB contesters do make an effort to avoid 14230. I know the
SSTV guys vehemently defend that frequency. I understand their case. However,
when I am operating on 14226 or 14227.0 and I have one of the SSTV guys tell
me I need to QSY, I get annoyed....especially when he tells me, "I guess I
am going to have to teach you a lesson." And then, proceeds to
intentionally QRM me by playing back my CQs or other stations' CQs, even though I am at
least 3 kHz off the official frequency. This kind of crap has happened a lot
more than once.
On contests weekends the best anyone can hope for is 3 kHz of clear
spectrum. Why should SSTV guys deserve any more than that? I think the SSTV guys
need to realize that.
