[NCC] Guilty!

[Hal Offutt]

I was more than a little surprised to read K8BL's 3830 comments re the DX Window.  S***, I thought all DX windows had been eliminated.  I was thinking all through the contest "Why on Earth did they eliminate the DX Window; we really ought to have one."  I know I was running for a while around 1830.3 or so and possibly on other frequencies in the window at other times, so I am one of those selfish, inconsiderate lids that Bob mentioned.  

I did briefly look through the rules before the contest but I missed the line that says "The segment 1.830 to 1.835 should be used for intercontinental QSO's only."  I wish someone had pointed out my transgression but nobody did.  After checking the rules, I realize now that it is the CQ160 contest that does not have a DX window any longer.  Or did I miss that one too?

Mea culpa.  I gotta read those rules more carefully!  My apologies for being a lid.

PS, Not that it will matter, but I will submit my modest log as a check log if there is a way to do that.
