According to the ARRL

Considerate Operator's Frequency Guide

http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/bandplan.html

there is no DX Window on 160 meters.  There used to be.  A number of 
years back, ARRL discontinued the DX window.  ARRL states that 
individual contests can designate a DX window for a contest.  The 
Stew Perry does not designate a DX window.

This is the ARRL position.  Other people and organizations hold 
different views.  Have fun.
