Here, I fixed it for you!
And heaven forbid, do NOT tell a JT65'er to check the contest schedule or this is the response you will get:
(Callsign removed to protect the stupid!)As such, yes I should be able to operate when *I* want to, not at the whim of a contest schedule. What if the only time I have to operate happens to be on that day/weekend?
We want to operate when we want to operate, you cannot tell someone when and when they cannot operate or call them "greedy" in all fairness and expect someone to pre-check for any sort of band activity be it contests, nets etc.
