[UK-CONTEST] RSGB contest 'bandplans' (cw)

[Stewart Rolfe]

While we're in the mood for moaning about the RTTY band allocations, how 
about looking at the the QRS coral in the CW 80m champs events? For sure 
we need a spot to encourage slow speed operators/novices but 40% of the 
total seems to be excessive.

I rarely hear anyone operating in the majority of 3550 - 3570 except for 
the odd QRQ stray from further down, no doubt persuaded there due to 
lack of room in the 'normal' area; I usually check there toward the end 
of each event to mop up any new calls but rarely find more than a 
couple. I would think 10kHz would be plenty for the few who want or need 
to send slower and may well be a positive encouragement to them if it 
becomes easier to stick to the agreed speeds in the more sensible space 
allocation.

73,
