[CQ-Contest] Band Plans

[Andrei Stchislenok]

I was always wondering why many stations using 40 meters band working SSB on
or about 7.020 - 7.007 MHz for example? Regardless of geographical
locations.
As fas as I am aware, the *lowest frequency allowed for SSB mode is 7.040
MHz* in all Countries, this is like a small segment of that so called
"universal Plan"...
Isn't this a reason to DQ such violators?
