Fellow contesters
during the ARRL DX SSB Contest this weekend I turned across the 40m band
several times in S&P and couldn't but notice that many north american
stations (I'd guess about 80%) were listening below 7040 and I can only
wonder how succesfull they were generating pileups: that's definitely in
the CW-part of the band !
While it is very common to expand the phone part of the band slightly
below 7040 and into the part assigned to digital modes in the large
contest in my opinion listening as low as 7019 is definitely overdoing
it. Basically these operators ask us to violate the rules :-(
