[VHFcontesting] question about 50.125 use

[Zack Widup]

If people tune around for stations, that will inspire others to call CQ on 
frequencies other than the calling frequency in a contest.

I have nothing against using 50.125.  But in the Spring 50 MHz Sprint I 
called CQ as high up as 50.160 and only got responses when I was in the 
range of 50.125 to 50.130. I only heard a couple CQ's above that range in 
that contest. I wonder why people weren't tuning up the band, listening.

Maybe it's because that was a contest with fewer participants. In a major 
contest with a major opening, people spread out more.
