[CQ-Contest] 14.300 MHz

[n6ki@juno.com]

Whoops! Posted this to wrong thread...just wan't to make sure that
NN2NN and VE3II don't miss this shread of wisdom....

 Wow! What a pis*ing contest and waste of bandwidth we have 
 going here re the 14.300 thread.
 
 OK..let's see
 
 The 14.300 guys aren't moving
 
 The contestors will continue to inadvertantly interfere with 
 the guys on 14.300
 
 There are other avenues to use if have have a boat and if you 
 have an emergency...
 
 The contesters CAN NOT move to 17 mtrs
 
 THE 14.300 guys CAN EASILY MOVE !!
 
 WOW !....What ..what a viable solution !
 
 Well, IMHO, the sooner the 14.300 guys start ...and yes. it 
 could take a couple years to get the Maritime traffic over to 
 17 meters the, the sooner the 14.300 Maritime Net guys will 
 be able to pass traffic without having to waste time driving 
 off wayward contestors !
 
 ...and just think...in 5 years when we are on the upside of 
 the sunspot cycle and contesting IS growing,....the guys on 
 14.300 will have even MORE interference to deal with.
 
 ...But..in 5 years ...the Maritime net could be running just 
 fine, with minimal interference on 17 mtrs. Reprogram some 
 radios, retune the backstay for 17 mtrs...put out a few 
 bulletins in ham journals ...and even Gordon West could 
 promote 17 mtrs and still make a good living...
 
 Sounds relatively straight forward to me.
