Poppy-cock. This happens rarely: CQWW, WPX, ARRL. The
other 40+ weekends of the year there's plenty of room between
the contesters. Not to mention WARC bands. And most big
contests are single-mode.
A few folks go into orbit when hearing a contest, just on principle.
This extremism is illogical: how can it be a 'minority' when they fill
the bands? Over 30,000 people participate in CQWW, each mode.
Indoctrination works by constantly repeating the same statements.
We eventually come to believe a mis-truth simply because we've
heard it so often. This is the tactic of the anti-contest brigade, in the
absence of reasoned argument.
If contests upset you just QSY to WARC or to a different mode or
protect your blood-pressure by tending the garden. At very least
stop being a kill-joy.
