I talked to several hams, and they said that with all the contesters...
many tuning up, etc. on top of others...it was almost impossible to do
nets, etc. -- unless you were on the WARC bands.
This weekend is the ARRL CW Sweepstakes, with the Phone Sweepstakes in
2 weeks.
Contesting never appealed to me, though. Yet, with ham radio, there's
something in it for everybody. My niches are traffic nets, VE Testing,
and doing a forum for new hams.
