There are many aspects of the ham radio hobby. Most contests (other
than SS) are either phone or CW and one can often find contacts on
the other mode. The WARC bands (30, 17 and 12 meters) do not have
any contest activity and are often more heavily occupied during
contests by those seeking a retreat from the contesters.

Hello all,
I'm a pretty new operator (a few months), and I was
really put off this weekend by the sweepstakes.
"Noise" from one side of the band to the other...not a
ragchew to be found. I'm very glad it doesn't happen
that often...or I probably would have found a
different hobby...really.
Is this really the kind of stuff that helps the hobby?
If people argue that it is practice for emergency
traffic, wouldn't Nets be better tools for that?
