Hi all,
Seems to me that quoting the IARU bandplan doesn't answer Doug's question,
which was about which countries specify 7040 as a lower limit in law.
The WPX rule says "strongly encouraged", but does not say "mandatory". And
even those organizations who cleave to band plans say the plan goes out the
window as soon as the amount of activity makes observance of the band plan
impossible.
With the amount of activity in many contests, mandatory observance of the
band plan would mean that only the strongest, largest, loudest stations ever
get to call CQ. If that becomes the case, stop the bus and let me off.
Contesting can be elitist enough as it is.
