I would like to suggest to the CQWWSSB guru's that a cut-off frequency be 
set for 40 meters. I think 7025 and above is more than reasonable for SSB 
operation during the contest. This year is worse than last and has been 
getting progressively worse every year. There have been many pleas in past 
years but they fall on deaf ears at the contest committee. There is plenty 
of unused frequency spectrum above 7025. I checked several times and there 
was no valid reason for any station to operate below 7025. It might be 
different if every 2.5 khz there was someone operating in the contest but 
there wasn't. In fact there were several 20-25 khz segments where no one was 
operating, yet there were stations below 7025 operating in the contest.
Thank you
