Which begs the question: "When someone in the middle of the country knows that a particular frequency is used by a band of AM operators at a particular time, why can't they QSY to allow the West Coast bunch to operate? They know they are coming" Same for the East Coast. Guys there usually get on an hour before the middle of the U.S. It would be mighty friendly if the West Coast bunch could be accommodated by Murry and his band of merry men. But then you say, Why can't the West Coast bunch choose another frequency? For the same reason that Murry and the group won't, they might interfere with another group in the General portion, which is where most want to operate to maximize the number of stations that can participate. This kind of thing leads to groups like the ones with signs at the Belton hamfest, 3.835 Group, 3.922 Group. The 3.922 group even has a flag with that frequency on it. Kind of makes one believe they own that frequency and since they purchased a flag, they aren't gonna move even with dynamite. What is the answer, what is the answer?
