[CQ-Contest] 40m "new" approach to staying in the band?

[Idle-Tyme]

Ya  know,

Think about it,  that would be kinda cool  if the contest went against 
the grain.  160 thru 40 run usb  20 and up go with lsb.

his way when tuning the band the only people you will here are people 
playing in the contest. anything else will be un intelligible!
