Quite true that the WARC bands are "contest free" but many of those who avoid contests are also those who love using old "boat anchor" gear that does not cover those bands.
Since wall-to-wall almost-every-weekend contesting is something that evolved over the last few decades, they quite reasonably ask why contesting isn't limited to band segments or to the WARC bands, leaving the Ham bands they have enjoyed for longer than many of us have been alive free of the QRM. Of course, only a few of those who operate boat anchors are likely to be here on the Elecraft reflector, but this O.T. has had the privilege of knowing many of them. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 6:23 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Contest free zones The contest free zones are called the WARC bands, and the KX3 operates well on all of them. 73, Dave ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
