Some years ago I was helping with a ham radio demo at a big Boy Scout
event. Things were going great then two contests started (WAG and CQP I
think). 10 and 15 got very full of contest activity so I decided to try the
“If you want to get away from the contesters, try the WARC bands” idea to
see if it really would work.

It was great! Had a bunch of excellent introductory QSOs on 12 and 17
meters with no QRM from those dang contesters.

I support the “no contests on 12/17/30 meters” policy.

The VTQP guys made a mistake and I hope they will not repeat it and that
nobody else makes the same mistake.

73,
