[CQ-Contest] CQ160 IARU R1 reminder

[Andy Blank]

The CQ 160 Meter Contest is fast approaching this weekend.

Please remember to observe all rules pertaining to your country regarding
frequency and power limits.
The power limit for ALL stations is of course 1500 Watts.
Please check your signals for clicks, etc. It is unfair to everyone else to
have a wide signal, and could be grounds
for disqualification.

In IARU Region 1 the band begins at 1810 khz.
A copy of the bandplan can be found here:

Also a PDF showing country by country allocations is attached.
This sheet is not guaranteed to be up to date, but is a good guideline.
