How about designating a 40m frequency? Also, how do others feel about using the site chatroom to help coordinate freq's / skeds?
 
I think yes, as long as you are not jumping from band to band back to back. To me back to back on different bands takes away the spirit of the contest.

I take it you do not have a Democrat party in Canada?
Vote early vote often Democratic motto.

Sort of like contact early and often.
