That might be saving their bacon..

Extremely prevalent. I made the mistake of operating in a JA
contest. Every last one of them QSLd me.

The Japan ARL has requested that the following frequencies be kept
clear for emergency use: 3.525, 7.030, 14.100, 21.200 and 28.200MHz.
Please avoid those frequencies for the duration of the current
exercise.

"Exercise?" ;-)

Cheers!

That's a technical term. :)
