[CQ-Contest] NAQP and 75 Meters

[Ted Bryant]

Mal, N7MAL opined: "...There's a lot of room, a lot, on 75m for SSB contesting..."

This is not necessarily true at this time of the year and this part of the cycle, especially if you
are in the eastern half of the US.  When 20 closes and 40 is unproductive, 75m gets pretty crowded.

The 'normal', accepted,  DX Window is from 3790 to 3800. The 75m DXers are very possessive of that
10khz. There's a lot of room, a lot, on 75m for SSB contesting.

  I find it interesting that apparently nobody is harassing the domestic
  net that meets on 3767.
