Bonnie I AGREE ! The problem is with contests they are not limited to a small part of any band so they TAKE OVER. They sit on known calling or net frequency's jamming them for hours or even DAYS at a time. AND are very quick to tell others that they HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE THERE. Its not limited to HF or any mode ..... On 50.125 MHz on 6 meters one of them Here in Florida will send CW for a while or until he feels he has run off the SSB users then switches to SSB to work the dx now that he has cleared the frequency off .... He does the same on 2 SSB. Bruce __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
