Well it is usually common courtesy to listen before transmitting.  It is 
also a good idea to avoid frequencies that are known for specific 
specialised use.

However once you listen and don't hear anyone, then transmit, you 
sometimes have some come back to you declaring that the frequency is in 
use.  You are then perfectly in your rights to reply, ' Yes, I know the 
frequency is in use, I am using it!'

This contest was a good workout for my K3 and newly installed KT34M2 and

It's not archaic, it's logical.

Canada, Australia and the U.S. are large countries, so part of the
challenge of working all call districts means that you managed to hit 
all corners of a country the size of Europe.  As a non-U.S. ham looking 
for multipliers I don't want to waste my time calling a W6 only to find 
he's NOT from California.  It's annoying (actually, it's annoying the 
rest of the year too).  You work a VK4 and you know he's in Queensland; 
you work a JA8 and you know he's in Hokkaido; you work a VE1 and you 
know he's in Nova Scotia.  You work a W6 and he could be anywhere.  In a 
contest that's a waste of our time.

It baffles me why the FCC would let a ham move to a different call 
district and keep their original call sign (I assume that's what is 
happening.  I hope that, for example, they aren't issuing W7 calls to 
new hams who live in New York State).  Regardless, it's a bed that 
someone down there made and unfortunately a few times a year you have to 
sleep in it.

I hope BARTG keeps the rules just the way they are.

Ken,

The FCC used to require a new callsign when changing districts, but the rule
changed at some point, probably due to our more mobile society.

The FCC WILL issue a W7 call to someone in NY.  You can pick one appropriate
for your license class and subject to availability from any call area.

I've had my 7 call since 1977 when I lived in AZ and kept it for the four
years I was in NM and since moving to IL in 2006.  I did operate as N7US/5
for a RTTY contest or two in NM in the 1990s, and it was a nuisance for
LOTW.

There are very, very few 1X2 calls available, and I worked hard to get this
one, so I won't give it up just because I'm living in the Midwest for a few
years.

I just skip any contests requiring the /9.

73, Jim N7US
