Yeah, and going into the data and SSB segments of the bands also.
I don't know why it seems that the band plan is ignored for the big
contests.
Being a primary CW operator, I get peed off in CQWW SSB in late October when
the CW segment gets invaded by Donald duck!

Subject: CW is Dead. Really!
Tell me again how dead the CW mode is and then tune 10 through 160 =
meters during CQ Worldwide CW. Some stations art transmitting at 45 and =
50 words per minute and it is wall to wall stations. I put my Icom 7000 =
on the lowest setting for filtering last night, and slow tuned the 40 =
meter band. I put the tuning knob in the click mode and started at =
7.00001 and 02 and 03 and right up the band. With my G5RV at 35 feet, I =
copied European and Russian and Africa and South America and stuff =
coming out of the Pacific on almost every second or third click or Hz as =
their signals fell into my narrowband CW filter. DX was stacked right =
on up the whole CW band and some with big signals, too.
Phil.
