Topband: ARRL 160 Contest Scoring

Back in "prehistoric times" there was no HP/LP division only 
single/multi op.  I think nighttime power restrictions were 
still in effect back then.  I am referring to #1 overall. 
 
With the modern rules, LP is much more competitive since the 
DX contacts/mults are much less significant there.
