[FQP] FQP 40m CW window expanded

[Hank Greeb]

Jeff:

Yeah, I know, I know.  BUT, I'm sure there will be complaints from FQP 
participants that QRP TTF operators were operating in the "FQP Mobile 
Window."  I wanted to remind all participants that, except for malicious 
interference, no one can "claim" a frequency or set of frequencies for a 
particular use.  The QRP folks definitely won't be "claiming 'their' 
frequencies."
