That's the one thing that irks me about ARRL 160. The reason there are not
more stations outside of US participate is that this contest turns out to be
an ARRL 160 Sweepstakes at least this is my opinion from the Westcoast.
Stations turn on their CQ machines and make it very difficult to impossible
to work anything outside the US from here. I don't participate anymore.
IMHO N7RT
