I also noticed no difference in this weekend's contest. However in the
recent RSGB contest I saw a reduction above 1850.
After a contest a couple of years ago when all europe appeared to be very
QRO above 1850 and I was peeved at Uk's low power of 32w above 1850 as
compared with other eu countries, I checked the power restrictions for some
of teh louder signals and found they were restricted to 10w. I beleive EI
has a higher power available in contests but don't know whether it applies
to 160.
