Don't forget in most European countries one cannot operate above 1850, and
those that can , can only use 10 Watt above 1850... I think there are
practically no countries, except G, that can operate all the way up tp 2000,
but also, only with 10 Watt.

Subject: Topband: CQ 160 DX and ARRL SSB contests and band plan
> With the CQ WW 160 meter contest this weekend, and the ARRL DX SSB contest
next weekend, it is worth a reminder that the ARRL band plan for 160 calls
for SSB operation only from 1843-2000 kHz.
>
> Most active Topband DXers and contesters have been abiding by the plan,
not transmitting below 1843 kHz.
>
> DX stations should be advised that if they operate transceive below 1843
kHz they will be missing out on many, many good multipliers from the USA
(including this one from Delaware).
>
> Last year I had good runs of Europeans well above 1900 kHz -- even as high
as 1995 kHz, far from the madding crowd down the band. So there is plenty of
room to spread out up there.
>
> Good luck to all, and thanks for your cooperation.
