Great! Is this not a excellent demo of good spectrum utilization even under
weak signal conditions?

Brilliant!!!! especially if the opening is at local sunrise or sunset for
about 8 minutes to the otherside of the world.
Jefferson was right when he said the least governed are the best governed.
Making contest rules more complex is a non-starter, IMHO.
How about the ARRL setting a better example by moving their endless code
practice out of the "DX-Portion" and up the band to 1990KHz? I think such a
move would make everybody happy, contest or no contest.
