[Marc Wullaert ON4MA]

Jon,
Most europeans you worked cannot transmitting above 1850.
Thats te law  in most european country's.1810-1850 .
What sould you do if the contestcommitee would zero points those contacts
you make because
those qso where not maked within the license agreement of that station! yes
,working SPLIT ...
And yes there will be again some fights whit Cw operators.But wat the heck
It is just a 1 weekend ssb contest.
To all ,have fun in the contest ...will be on sundaymorning to give some
points !!

> With the CQ WW 160 meter contest this weekend, and the ARRL DX SSB contest
next weekend, it is worth a reminder that the ARRL band plan for 160 calls
for SSB operation only from 1843-2000 kHz.
>
> Most active Topband DXers and contesters have been abiding by the plan,
not transmitting below 1843 kHz.
>
> DX stations should be advised that if they operate transceive below 1843
kHz they will be missing out on many, many good multipliers from the USA
(including this one from Delaware).
>
> Last year I had good runs of Europeans well above 1900 kHz -- even as high
as 1995 kHz, far from the madding crowd down the band. So there is plenty of
room to spread out up there.
>
> Good luck to all, and thanks for your cooperation.
