Reed, you are perfectly OK with what you did, but I still do not believe
that there is any contest in the world on 17m. There was something rotten
in Denmark there. Possibly some LID who didn't know what he was doing.

Subject: [TenTec] Contesting Now On 17 Meters?
I was the one that started this thread on the 4th of November. I was on
18.158 at 2149 UTC working a station in NJ when a station came very close
calling CQ something contest. I don't recall what contest he was in, but
several stations were going back to him. After using PBT I was able to
complete the QSO & QSY to 10 meters.
Someone else mention this also under a different subject before I posted
asking the question on contesting on 17 meters. Thought it was strange that
a contest would be in the middle of the week, but I don't keep up with that
part of the hobby. There is plenty of modes & bands to enjoy so I just QSY
to somewhere else.
Sorry if I came across rough on contesting, but I get a little ticked off
when someone doesn't ask first if the frequency is in use then take upon
themselves to start calling CQ contest.
