[Elecraft] Contest free zones

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Quite true that the WARC bands are "contest free" but many of those who
avoid contests are also those who love using old "boat anchor" gear that
does not cover those bands.

Since wall-to-wall almost-every-weekend contesting is something that evolved
over the last few decades, they quite reasonably ask why contesting isn't
limited to band segments or to the WARC bands, leaving the Ham bands they
have enjoyed for longer than many of us have been alive free of the QRM. 

Of course, only a few of those who operate boat anchors are likely to be
here on the Elecraft reflector, but this O.T. has had the privilege of
knowing many of them.

The contest free zones are called the WARC bands, and the KX3 operates well
on all of them.
