[CQ-Contest] TQP vs CQ RTTY

[Terence Burbidge]

But Rick, this is/was the CQWW contest. The clue is in the name.....since
when has any leg of the CQWW confined itself to the widely accepted modes
within the bands? Not for donkeys years. With an ever growing ham radio
movement across the world and participation up to unprecedented levels,
maybe move the Texas QSO party to another weekend? 

Cheers,

Methinks there needs to be some "Gentleperson's Agreement" put in place 
to dispense with the major problem of CQ RTTY stations thrashing the 
Texas QSO Party on 40m.

Like, keep 7.047 to 7.053 (at least) free for the Distinguished 
Contesters from Texas to also enjoy their event.  RTTY on 40m was down 
to about 7.025 on Saturday morning, with the #&^! Chinese Woodpecker 
wreaking havoc here up to 7.020 which left only 5Khz for any kind decent 
CW on 40m.

FWIW & 73...
