I have an idea, just to make it "fair", let's restrict all operators from around the world to the US Phone Bands on 20M and 40M in contests as well. After all, it's only fair. Just stick to the rules folks. Ed N1UR "Hey Everything can be solved simply. To approve the rules for

Many people - many opinions ... What about the European QRP fans? They probably want to be in a quiet place too ... As for 40m, split is successfully used there. Although I already agree with everyone - let everything remain as it was. --- Nick, UY0ZG http://www.topband.in.ua Jim

Just my .02 on this one. The reader and especially the contest organizer not required to even consider my opinion. In a way it's like the ARRL's DX window in the ARRL160 used to be. It was kept in there for years past its usefulness, especially since in all of the later ARRL160's, the vast, vast

I am QRP and like to run. After I get tired of trying to bust through the pileups with my weak signal I choose to run. There is little chance I can make it to EU and the band is just too crowded above 1810. I find it easier to find a quiet frequency below 1810 and I have more success there.

There are, of course, minor exceptions. In Turkmenistan, for example, no licenses are issued at all ... And the real situation is as follows - almost all participants in contests from Europe and Asia cannot use frequencies below 1810. We see that half of the participants are in unequal

In region 1 the frequency 1800-1810 is still allocated to Radiolocation, not to Amateur. However it is always possible that individual countries create different allocations. Similar to the upper frequency. 1810-1850 is primary Amateur. 1850-2000 is secondary Amateur. Some countries allow

All - A friend of mine alerted me to the fact that he heard a QSO take place between someone in the USA and Europe below 1810 during the Stew. I did a little research and verified that this QSO did take place - around 1805 kHz. However, the European reported the QSO on 1810 kHz. During this
