That's not bad, unless it is the weekend for your favorite mode, OR the other
mode spills out of its normal area of the band and takes over everything in
sight.  That happens all the time.  And I don't care what you or anyone else
says, I know and regularly hear, people just pile into areas of the band where
there is other activity, regular nets, etc.  Contest organizers should designate
a portion of the band where they will accept valid contacts, and disallow the
rest.

I know, just my opinion, but I assure you, I'm not alone.  This whole thing is
off topic for the list anyway.
