[Elecraft] Idea: HF Flash Mobs

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

The weekly CWT’s (www.cwops.org) I participate in create a substantial
amount of activity from 28-38kHz up from all the band edges, for 3 x 1 hour
stints,on Wed. each week.

Similary, the NCCC Sprints do the same for ½ each time, once a week Thursday
eve Na time..

The Phone Fray, for voice only fellas does the same (1/2 hr).

 

None of these are actual contests. (no awards etc), but they pop up, bands
go wild and then poof, they’re over.

 

I’m primarily a contester but I’d wager if you were to ask the rag
chewer/casual QSO type of guys they’d likely say they abhor these events(and
weekend contests), so I don’t see that we need more of them.  Even though
the CWops tend to be very careful, we still receive the odd report of QRM to
an ongoing QSO.
