Hi, I for one will certainly NOT >:(be taking part in the contest, in fact i think contesters should be taken out and summarily executed lol. It annoys me that they fill up most of the bands shouting cq contest cq contest, using way above their legal power limit, splattering all over the airwaves with their bad manners and ignorant behaviour. Last year these contesters were using freqs that were set aside for emergency hurricane comms . Sorry for the rant, but i am sure Renae knows where i am coming from with this ;D. 73's de Den.

Well I didn't know it was so bad (not being a ham) sorry about that Den. Sounds like the bands become a "CB" type free-for-all during this contest,huh? Shame-I thought it was a good thing. Oh well I guess I'll be monitoring around anyway and I may learn firsthand just what you say! 73s
