I’m all for more activity on all the bands.
But this “operating event” was initially promoted as a contest.
Contesting... formal, organized, sponsored contests.. due not belong on the
WARC bands, at the present time, nor for the foreseeable future. Period
Objecting to a bad decision is not “over reacting.”
Fortunately, the decision was corrected in time, and from what I observed, a
good time was had by all. And isn’t that what’s important?
