Mark, you're right. 160M is a DX band. It wasn't considered that by the
majority of hams until it became apparent that by good operating and
good engineering, DX could be worked. A lot of people in the ARRL160
test will be using low dipoles for Tx/Rx and will be interested in
trying to work what they can hear. This makes it very tough for the DX
to crack the noise Stateside. The ARRL 160 contest is what it is. I'd encourage everybody possible to get on and make some Q's, if not a full out effort to win the thing in whatever capacity they're trying to. Dec. 18 and 19 will have The Stew Perry TopBand Dx Challenge which has a different scoring mnemonic that emphasizes the DX in a DX contest. Hope to work you in both contests. 73 and I remain, Lew W7EW/W7AT _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband |
