As far as points for the club goes, you will almost certainly do better with a multi-band assisted entry, running the maximum power available.

But, there are many ways to operate a contest, and one's goals may not be consistent with that. For example, I operate QRP almost exclusively. Could I make more points for the club if I ran more power? Most definitely, but I prefer operating at 5 watts or less.

I say operate your own contest: if that means single band 160, so be it. If aggregating the most points for the club is more important for you, do that.

If you know you want to operate single band (without knowing your station setup) 20 meters would likely result in the highest score....possibly 40, depending on conditions.

I am working the CQ WW DX SSB contest in a few hours and had planned on working only one band (that being 160m) however I am open to suggestions if I would benefit the overall club standing if I were to work all bands or even another particular one band?

I have a 240' Doublet up at 75' at the apex and 12' - 15' on the legs (inverted V) being fed with 600 Ohm ladder line. I was hoping that the 160m band might not be as competitive or make the anti contest hams mad.

Suggestions welcome.
