Found this post in one of the ham radio FB groups:
So basically, someone thinks they have the authority to tell the rest of the world not to contest on entire bands? Take a good look at the above list of frequencies. No contesting allowed on nearly all of 80m, 40m, and 20m? Really?Hi
Also would like to give a BIG reminder to everyone that worldwide JOTA event 48 hours this weekend for scout and possible FUTURE radioamateurs !
To reduce interference with the participants of JOTA, contest operation is not allowed in the following contest-free sections.
DARC Germany WAG committee have made a list (as pdf):
http://www.darc.de/upl…/media/WAG_-_...e_segments.pdf
80m: CW - 3560 - 3800 kHz, SSB – 3650 – 3700 kHz
40m: CW - 7040 - 7200 kHz, SSB – 7080 – 7140 kHz
20m: CW - 14060 - 14350 kHz, SSB – 14100 – 14125 kHz and 14280 – 14350 kHz
15m: SSB – 21350 – 21450 kHz
10m: SSB – 28225 – 28400 kHz
I hope scout station not need to fight for the frequencies and to hear ANY bad behavior!
73 from LA6JAM/LI6JAM Norwegian scout station!
73s the LB3RE "Rag" Stein-Roar Brobakken.
QRV as LA6JAM/LI6JAM
JARTS RTTY contest is also the same weekend. Does this person actually think the above is going to fly?
This is part of the reason a lot of contesters don't take certain segments of the ham community seriously. :roll:
Oh, and the PDF linked to is behind a username/password, so you can't even see where they came up with this.
