Oh I get what you're saying Jim . . .
What I really meant is that I don't want to come on 160m at 3am, just to
work a load of Europeans (which I can work in the evening), when I have
really come on the band to try and work some DX ! (especially when a lot of
these stations only seem to come on 160 when there's a contest).
But funnily enough I actually just went on the band at 2100Z for the last
hour of the Contest, to give European stations some points.
I called CQ, and OMG, I couldn't believe the pileup ! I managed to work 154
stations in one hour . . . quite hard considering I use no computer
software, so even writing down the callsigns was really hard !
