[NCC] Guilty!

[R.T.Liddy]

Hal,
 
Please don't submit as a Check Log. It's not worth it to throw away your
efforts for a short time and .3 KHz. 
 
My complaint is about the several big stations that sat in the Window for
HOURS in spite of being told multiple times by a number of protesters. These
guys knew they were doing it and were thumbing their noses at everyone else.
I could hear DX weakly under them but could not try to work it since they kept
getting covered. It really ticked me off since they cost me some badly needed
Mults.
 
73,   Bob K8BL

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.
