[UK-CONTEST] Deliberate QRM in AFS

[Martin Atherton]

This deliberate QRM has been getting worse each year and it is time
something was done about it. As IARU Region 1 is the organiser of the HF
Band Plan perhaps the Region 1 HF Committee (Chair G3PSM, Vice Chair F8BPN)
could ask all Member Societies to publicise the fact that just because
3650-3700 is not "contest preferred" it does not mean that contests are
excluded from it. Also worth mentioning again that bandplans are not
mandatory in most countries. Region 1 Societies might also stresss that
deliberate QRM is a violation of national licence conditions. It would be
helpful if they could do this every December! 

The Region 1 HF Committee is meeting in late February.
