[CQ-Contest] [PVRC] A DX Contest on the WARC bands -- A terrible idea

[Tim Shoppa]

Frank, is it as simple that they made the mistake in calling it a
"Contest"? If they called it an "Activity tracker" or "QSO Party" would
that have been better?

The ARRL encouraged activity on all bands and modes in 2014 with their
Centennial QSO Party. Including awarding points for WARC bands. And it
didn't cause any problems. http://www.arrl.org/centennial
