[CQ-Contest] WPX CW

[Edward Sawyer]

In a contest (not to be confused with normal casual operating), doesn't the
"frequency" defined as a defined bandwidth of spectrum actually, like 7001.0
+/- 150hz or something, actually belong to whoever can run on it?  I mean if
someone comes on "my frequency" even if I protest, and starts getting calls
and I don't, guess who owns it now??  This is from a low power op who has
lost a lot of frequencies.defended more..and sneaked into a few.  Its just
like the "left the frequency to work a mult" discussion.  If a frequency is
being utilized.its being possessed.  If its not producing, its vulnerable.
And no one jumps on a frequency of someone running a pile.

 

If the above statements are offensive to you.then realize you are not a
competitive contester, in my opinion.  You can still have lots of fun as a
casual contester or a "budding contester" but if you can't run with the
dogs.just realize it.  And you might want to avoid the bottom 25khz of the
bands in the majors.

 

I often transmit on 2 antennas and I listen on both.yes.splitting 100 or
150W.amazing but true.
