[CQ-Contest] Fwd: Why?

[Charles Harpole]

There are parts of the world where ham spectrum space is NOT a problem.
Without a major contest I can tune ALL bands under 2m and hear ONE ham
contacting activity per band ... all over 9 bands, average.

You guys stuck in NA or EU should one day have the experience of tuning
over all of 20meters during any 20 of 24 hours and NOT hearing any ham sigs
at all.   Rcvr selectivity is low priority in HS.  73 Charly
