Another concern we should be aware of is our UHF frequencies comingunder attack by Cellular Carriers. I heard that there is movement to use the 5ghz band. Verizon and maybe others are building Micro Cells on Telephone Poles. In CT Verizon is now building 35 of these pole mounted sites and one might be in your backyard causing RFI. Now it is not likely that 10ghz is in their sites but one never knows what they are proposing. If 10ghz contesting goes away or is diminished, what's next. We need to encourage more activity on the upper UHF frequencies and discontinuing this contest might discourage participation. I would suggest we let this upcoming contest continue as scheduled and going forward open up more discussion on this topic.
