[CQ-Contest] Band Plans

[K1TTT]

Because each country can issue regulations that restrict frequencies and
modes differently.  Also, band plans are just that 'plans'... Plans can not
be reasonably expected to handle all circumstances.  For example, planning
for 20khz on 20m for FSK RTTY may handle normal weekday operating, but let
an expedition come on or a big rtty contest start up and 20khz just isn't
enough.  To expect operators to restrict themselves to the 'planned' 20khz
when there is lots of mostly unused spectrum on either side that they can
legally use is unreasonable.
