[NCC] Guilty!

Hal,
 
I never heard you (I was only on two hours). But don't QSOs count as  
intercontinental if the op is in Asia and the radio is in North  America?    :-)

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.
