Good morning Andy,
Thanks for the update, and for listening to and acting upon the requests
made by the topband contesting community. We appreciate your inquiry and
open mind to the little things that will raise the level of the contest to
greater heights.

Subject: Topband: Announcing 2009 CQWW 160 contest
> The 2009 CQWW 160 Meter Contest has undergone major changes this year.
>
> As many of you know, K4JRB has retired from the directorship, and I
> have taken over.
> Dave has been very helpful in the transition, and is still working on
> certificates/trophies from prior contests.
> Please be patient if you are waiting for an award, it should be coming
> shortly.
>
> We have established a new web site at http://cq160.com/.
>
> Please visit the site for important information, including the full
> text of the new rules.
> You will find records and log info there also.
>
> Here are some of the rule change highlights:
>
>
> 1. The dates for the 2009 SSB contest are a week later than usual to
> avoid conflict with the ARRL DX Contest. This is a calendar anomaly
> and will return to the last full weekend in February in 2010.
>
> 2. The start and end times of the contests have been shifted two
> hours earlier in response to requests from the 160 contesting community.
>
> 3. The exchange for DX stations has been changed from RS(T) & country
> to RS(T) and CQ zone.
>
> 4. A new single-operator/assisted class has been added to permit the
> use of clusters, skimmers, etc.
>
> 5. A 40-hour maximum operating period has been added for multi-op entries.
>
> 6. Provisions have been added regarding remote operation
>
>
>
> Please note there has been no change in multipliers or qso points.
> We hope these changes will help to improve the contest, and stay
> consistent with the rules for other CQ contests.
