40m - what a farce !
Quite how any sanity can prevail in the latest contest.
For a start no one can use CW because every US station is listening for
europeans in the CW segment.
There's a broadcaster on 7.010Mhz for good measure.
The rest of the world is listening it seems anywhere above 7.2Mhz.
There's wall to wall broadcasters from 7.100 - 7.580Mhz.
Everyone is working split frequency - that's two channels used up for
each QSO in the contest because of the continued lack of regional agreement
for the 40m amateur band.
CW ?
PSK31?
RTTY ?
Not a trace of it due to the above farce.
40m must rate as the biggest administrative cock up in the history of
frequency planning !
