"In the most recent CQ 160 CW Contest, probably 99% of the DX
stations I worked were NOT in the 1830-1835 window recommended by CQ."
Just for curiosity, I decided to check my statement...here are
my DX (non-W/VE) QSO breakdowns by continent:
Total In window %
North America CW 9 2 22
South America CW 6 1 17
Europe CW 196 11 5.6
Asia CW 6 1 16.7
Africa CW 2 0 0
Oceania CW 6 3 50
Total 225 18 8
Well my guess was wrong but I believe my point still holds! 160m DX is
where you find it and most was NOT in the 1830-1835 window. And by the way, the
two North American DX stations in the window should NOT have been working North
America according to the window rules (window for Inter-continental QSO's
only)...
and I'm sure ;-) the EU stations in the window were not answering other EU's!
