[Edward Sawyer]

Dave, Make sure we remember that when 3Y0 shows up on 30M.

The rules governing each of our FCC licenses explicitly require that, on 60 and 30 meters, we cause no interference to authorized non-amateur stations (97.303(h) and (j)).  Contesting on these two bands simply is incompatible with complying with these requirements and meeting our obligations. In many cases we wouldn't even be able to hear the station(s) that we must protect through the contest bedlam that we all have come to love.

We made a pact with our non-contesting brothers that we’d stay off WARC.  We ought not break our word.
