Fellow contesters
I appologize if my initial message gave the wrong impression - there was
no intention to discuss the problem per se
but I was rather interested to know if the behaviour of those station
actually heart their performance. Or in other words if a majority takes
it as granted that there's not bandplan during major contests ?

P.S. I'm not a long time reader of this mailing list and I admit I
didn't check if it's been discussed before
