Amateur radio operators share interest and do not share interest in the
various aspects of this wonderful avocation. Tolerance is something we
all should share. But, being a rtty contest participant, I must note my
observation that during rtty contests, at least on 20, 15 and 10 meters
, most contesters try to avoid the psk segments, and somewhat the JT65/9
area (perhaps for the latter not so effectively because the remarkably
effective low level signals may not be heard). Remember that we only
note the interference of those who are interfering, not the vast
majority who do care about not interfering. I have never seen anyone
type "use the warc bands".
