Hi All

I believe that there was the potential for upsetting data mode
users.  So I'm glad that there was no significant CW contest
activity above 3580 kHz.

Contesting already has a poor image.  And I don't think that
contest organisers help to improve that image by establishing
contest rules which permit operation 30 kHz above the top
end of an IARU contest preferred segment, and half-way into
a narrow band modes segment.
