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 count as DX.  They actually
count as ARRL sections.  KV4FZ has been campaigning for years
to educate DX stations who think they can't work him.

Elsewhere, the site says DX to DX qsos don't count, and KL7 is DX,
but KL7 can still work DX stations.  Very confusing.
