Re the ARRL December 160 test, it really is a 160 Sweepstakes since DX
cannot work other DX stations for points. It is not a 160 DX test.
Re the CQ 160 test, since the world can work the world, it is a true DX
contest.
As for hashing changes out here, I suggest the CQ Contest reflector would be
a better forum for this discussion. As evidenced by the passion of some
posts, fiddeling with a successful formula get's folks dander up.
Anyone remember the bru-ha-ha when ARRL changed the DX test to match the CQ
format and the ire that generated....and that was before internet
reflectors! Subtle tweaks are OK. Major changes, well, not so good.
Each of the three 160 contests has its own strengths and weaknesses. There
is an operating option for everyone!
