+13 Colonies: HOly Cow K2E is killing me... and perhaps a few thousand other hams... they keep working WARC frequencies which not the holy trinity of the bands. (20,40,80m) the rest of the K2# stations have been really good about splitting time across the big three. K2E is still operating at 30+ WPM too and not answering straight keys which is pretty BS. So here's the thing, if you're using 20m, 18m, 15m, 10m you are no going to be heard by the east coast. And if you're only working at 30WPM no QRS for the less skilled telegraph operators you're being a CW snob. This is a Special Event, not a contest.

Sadly, their behavior is not a surprise. Hams seem to specialise in thoughtlessness.
