There is an "advertisement" on the ARRL web site for the 160 meter contest at: http://www.arrl.org/news/reach-for-the-top-in-the-arrl-160-meter-contest Unfortunately, it states the KL7, KH6, etc coun
This would be a welcome change if true, however I think Rick is right. This is primarily a domestic contest, and KH2 counts the same as a KH6 - Pacific Section - even though Guam is 3,800 miles west
Explain that to all the DX stations I call for a new one during that contest and refuse to work me.. Merv K9FD/KH6 ex KH7C _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QS
Merv , Maybe the rules changed. Who knows? But it is sure confusing as the the U.S. Territories are ether DX or they aren't DX. Can you imagine if KP1, KP5, or even KH0 was active during this contest
The rules are simple and clear: 1.1. Stations located in overseas and non-contiguous U.S. Territories may be worked by DX stations. This includes Alaska KL7, the Caribbean US possessions KP1-KP5, and
Dave, but these rules predate the recent conflicting press release published by the ARRL. IMHO someone from the ARRL needs to issue a correction and/or retraction of the information so as to minimize
