Topband: ARRL 160 contest

[Tom Baugh]

My feeling is.. If you didn't honor the following rule:

6.1. The segment 1.830 to 1.835 should be used for intercontinental QSOs
only.

NOTE the word "SHOULD"

I'm sure people will say, It doesn't say MUST, or other analogies.
Then you were in violation of the rules. If you knew this was a rule... then
you should not have made a contact (in good conscience) in that area of the
band. I made a point of NOT making any there.
Even if my score suffers.. I can look in the mirror with a clean conscience.
If everyone did that.. nobody would be in there.  It's in the RULES.
