[CQ-Contest] W4ZV's Most Disruptive Contest

[Marijan Miletic, S56A]

160 m band is larger then 10 m percentagewise!  It is only recently that SSB
contest stations spread above 29 MHz.
Apart from crossband JA above 1900 kHz, I rarely work anybody above 1875
kHz.  CONDX should be better at 2 MHz.
Different national subbands were mentioned before but that is mainly a
history now.

73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU ex YU1,3,7PCF, YU3EA, S57MM on 160m since 1972.

  So your assertion is that there are more 160M CW DXers than there are 20M
  SSBers?  Or are you saying that SSB operators being disturbed by contests
  don't really count?

  Either way, I think you will have a hard time getting anyone to buy that
  you are any more inconvenienced than anyone else by the occurance of a
  contest on the TopBand, and somehow due more consideration.

  As for Tom's statement that the band is big...  I agree.  I suggest you
  guys call CQ DX above 1900Khz the next time the CQ 160 SSB contest is in
  full swing.  There is plenty of room up there.
