We hams have a lot of spectrum, but none of us owns any frequency, either individually or as a group. Contest organizers intentionally avoid the WARC bands, and RTTY contesting intentionally avoids 160M. Someone who wants to work JT65 or PSK31 on HF during a RTTY contest can QSY to 160M, 30M, 17M, or 12M. So can CW operators. At least one of these bands will usually be open enough to have fun.
