Topband: 1810

[Dan Flaig NP2J]

My 2 cents


It makes sense to me to have the contest rules mirror the regulations 
regarding frequency allocations.

No one is asking the contest sponsors to regulate anything.
Enforcing a frequency rule in a contest is no different than enforcing 
any other contest rule. If the rules are broken on purpose 
disqualification should be enforced.

If you just let anyone do anything what is to keep someone from
Running on 1798 kHz??
If a eu station works somebody on 1805 then changes log to say 1810 they 
obviously knew what they did was against the rules and are trying to 
hide the fact.

I doubt that the ability for us stations to work other US stations below 
1810 is any huge advantage.
I can understand why qrp stations in the US would like to use that less 
crowed portion of the band.

Seems to me either leave rules as they are and enforce no Europe qsos 
below 1810 or change rules so no operation below 1810 is allowed. 
Personally I like rules how they are but either way is fine with me.

Thanks to Boring ARC and Tree for sponsoring this fantastic contest!
