I sure wish the self-appointed frequency cops would remember that little detail during contest weekends.

It's almost sad to here so many people ordered off particular frequencies because they are considered "reserved" (whether actually in use or not) based on the band-plan!

Need to remember that the ARRL itself has stated that the band plan is 
essentially null and void during contest weekends because of the 
overwhelming number of stations that are QRV during the contest. The ARRL 
has further stated that the band plans are designed to be in effect during 
"normal conditions" and where there is "normal band loading."

The plan does not contemplate the hundreds (and thousands of stations that 
are QRV during the contests).
