I am not really a phone contester ( XYL calls it a parrot contest) but do
work some of the more wellknow calls just for fun. 80 had a great opening
sunday morning with many big signals-
But where was K3ZO this year ?
It still surprises me to find experienced contesters not observing the
bandplan and being a nuisance for others not participating in a phone
contest.
I worked only those who listened above 7040, where phone starts in Region 1.
The following stations were listening in the CW band, even as low as 7017
( W3LPL):
N9RV 7020
KC1XX 7033.5
N5DX 7024
W2RE 7018
K3LR 7033
K4XS 7021
K4JA 7023.5
K3CR 7023
KB1H 21130
IMHO : These stns should have a penalty deducted from the final score.
It was nice to hear a K9-er on 15 who did it the old way by listening
outside the US phoneband and avoided some of the QRM problems.
