Topband: Re: Topband phone contest

[John Bohnovic]

And if someone doesn't like contesting, he can operate outside the band 
plan and bootleg other callsigns. It could become a BIG problem trying to 
determine if a station operating outside the band plan was really who the 
callsign indicated it was.

If this was a viable solution I think the contest sponsors would have 
implemented it already.

Let's face it, we are stuck with this being a "gentleman's agreement".

I'm not on Top Band yet, but one of these days I will be.
