[Elecraft] ELECRAFT NET: Would the Elecraft Net be seen as "contesting" If it was on 17m?

Fri May 16 17:44:11 2003

I've found 30M quite active after dark and have 16 countries worked since
last Sept with mostly casual operating. There are usually signals between
0100-0300Z most days.  Activity is concentrated below 10.110 but stations
can be found all up and down the band.  Daytime it is pretty quite though
most of the time.

73,
