[ct-user] ARRL 160 Contest for US Territories

[Herb Schoenbohm]

Dear CT  User:


All my versions of CT do not allow me to log DX stations since the program consideres me DX (I am indeed in the Virgin Islands) but the CAC states for the purpose of this contest I must compete with W/VE stations and not be considered DX, which I have been doing for years. This year I did not even get listed even though my Q rate was high and I worked most of the ARRL sections on 160!  The CAC, with their traditional arrogance, refuses to even revisit this problem, which doesn't surprise me, even though their rules are not really clear on this point.  They claim that the US territories, although they count for DXCC are not really DX for the purpose of the ARRL 160 meter contest.

My post is a request for anyone who has a fix for the CT software so I can log DX contacts in the ARRL 160 meter "DX" contest.  

Thanks,
