No phone contacts in the "conventional CW sub-bands"? From the
perspective of a US operator, I have very good reason to think of
7000-7150 as a conventional CW sub-band. Likewise, the same is true
below 14150 and 21200. But the problem is on 40m. One of the real
"challenges" of the RAC contacts is getting multipliers on 40 SSB. The
VE's tend to make all their phone contacts in the conventional CW
sub-band!
---------------
We would expect all participants to follow the IARU HF band plans for
the defn of "CW sub-bands"-in RII ie: 7000-7050 and 14000-14070-these
are the exclusive CW segments for each band(shared with
digimode/packet in other Regions for the 7035-7050 portion).
For example, Canadians making back to back SSB/CW contacts in the
14100-14150 segment is not in the spirit of the contest(whatever that
means to you!)
