The announcement of the 2003 CQ 160 Contests will up on the CQ Magazine web
page in a few days.  If anyone still needs paper logs there is a pdf format
download.  Electronic logs MUST be in cabrillo format.

Here are a few changes for 2003:

1.    The contests go to a 48 hour format (0000Z Sat to 2359Z Sun) to
conform with other CQ sponsored contests.

2.     VY0 has been added as a new Canadian Multiplier.

3.    The DX window has been dropped for both modes.

The robot at kkn.net (cq160@kkn.net) will check each electronic log for
correct cabrillo format.  See the rules or the 2002 results (coming in the
December 2002 CQ) for more detail.

Please post (and edit if you wish) on the top band reflector.
