Hi Guys, What is the actual objection? is it you worry there will be some rule change in the future to allow WARC band contesting? You know there are other groups who promote the use of 30m for events too (and have done so for some time) including the FISTS club "WARC Band Challenge" - they even use a scoring system for it.
What about RTTY or CW DX on 30m? there are many times that DX appears and the whole band is concentrated on working them regardless of the other users. This may not be a "contest" but it sure sounds like one. I don't think a digimode QRP Weekend is going to cause any problems to anybody as long as we avoid the QRSS segment which is the normal rule anyway. Realistically we will only be using frequencies from say 10.137 to 10.142, 5KHz (less the QRSS segment) in total. This is surely not a problem for anyone. As long as there is no required exchange, scoring system, goal of working as many people as possible I really don't see how you can call it a contest. If anything it will be a very interesting scientific study of which digimodes work at these levels and which don't. How can that be a bad thing? 73, Sholto KE7HPV.
