I've decided to put my oar in the water regarding the comments on ARRL 160. I didn't operate this year but it is my favorite 160 contest and the only one I would seriously enter. Why? Because mostly

I figured that QRM was a HUGE problem on the east side of the country, Paul, and the major reason why they couldn't hear my peanut whistle signal!! I agree that the Top Band contests during December

On the point of being zero-beat with the station you're calling... you almost need to run CW Skimmer for that here. I called a station - exactly zero beat... and a station just below me was answering

I'm using a K3 with pretty much all the bells & whistles sans FM & 2 meters. It's calibrated "perfectly" with WWV and I know it's on frequency that's displayed. I was S&P for all but the early daylig

It's pretty much demonstrated that there are a lot of people who are "tone deaf", that is, they simply cannot tell apart two tones of different frequencies if they are "somewhat" near to one another.
