The locals *do* run things. It's called your local frequency copordination council. As for FD on 146.52, the ARRL is simply setting rules for the contest to mak life a little harder and make contest stations work a bit harder. That doesn't ahve anything to do with frequency coordination. Their contest, their rules. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC at K6ZC port B http://www.conmicro.com http://www.k6zc.org http://www.tronguy.net http://jmaynard.livejournal.com (Yes, that's me!) http://www.hercules-390.org
