[UK-CONTEST] QRS corrale in the CC cw contest

[Stewart Rolfe]

Conditions last night seemed good with lots of activity. Consequently I 
struggled to find a spot to run until about 2115 when I squeezed in 
around 3551.5 and then ran off 20 or so further contacts to make my 
total a little more respectable.....
I did feel a bit guilty as I was just in the QRS section but there were 
other, non QRS stations well above me anyhow. While S&Ping earlier I 
checked 3550-3570 and there seemed a distinct lack of genuine QRS there, 
what I would assume to be sub 15s...? I did work a couple of slower 
stations but not what I would class as QRS.
So what is the present status of the qrs section? I do agree with having 
somewhere to make newcomers feel comfortable but does having 40% of the 
available space dedicated to slow operating make sense when the rest of 
the band is heaving - maybe spreading out the existing activity would 
make the whole experience more inviting to new ops anyway.
I do agree with having a QRS corrale but one of a sensible size so that 
it will remain qrs and not be taken over by default by the masses 
breadking out of the bedlam further down.
Would 10KHz (or 5....) make more sense?
Very enjoyable nonetheless and a pity I shall miss next month's event.
