You are correct, Andy....it happens every "scheduled" night. Have never-ever seen W1AW move or not transmit despite the frequency being in use...Does it violate FCC statues; sure; is anyone going to do anything about it? No, as ARRL/W1AW seems to be aloof and un-caring unless it involves vested interests that BestNotBeNamed. It does not even follow its own "bandplan"....a myriad of issues not for this forum...like code "practice" on top of existing qso's yet pushing "no- code" initiatives to the FCC......and yes, thanks for the too late whine about the Omnibus ruling that specifically speaks to "WinLink" concerns. I best stop....
