(Araucaria) Fwd: [CQ-Contest] Contest preferred segments in WAE

Quarta Setembro 7 23:04:40 BRT 2016

Pessoal, Boa noite!

Sobre as frequências que devem ser respeitadas durante o WAE.

Na mensagem original, citaram como exemplo o primeiro colocado (PX5E) e o segundo colocado (PX2A) realizando qsos nos 40m em 7.124 e 7.128, portanto abaixo dos 7.130 e não era permitido. Como gerou dividas de interpretação, resolveram detalhar mais. 

Vamos prestar atenção para não operar nas faixas não permitidas no WAE para permitir o uso das bandas por aquelas estações que não estejam no conteste.

73's
