Hi John:
The problem is that during a contest ,, contesters have all the channels, and
it doesn't matter if you do find a clear spot,, contestester will move in
within in a kc and take out ANY other communications that are going on..
whether it be ssb qso, digital sstv, sstv.. If the idea is to weed out the
week,, take and put all the contester in 100kc together and let the screaming
begin,, but nooooo lets spread them out over the entire band and make it
miserable for everyone who isn't contesting..
( sorry about the high horse, but when contest are on,, it just ruins my
daysssss)

Long long time ago (1969) a friend (now SK) who help me
become a ham told me that contest weed out the weak.
I for one love contest. Be it SSB CW or RTTY.
It's a bit like what they say about TV. If you don't like what you
are watching change the channel. Same holds true ham radio.
All 6 of my HF rigs has a OFF switch.
