Topband: CQ 160 CW Contest

[Andy Blank]

Jorge, this new rule is for SINGLE OPERATOR ASSISTED ONLY.

Multi ops, single ops are not allowed to use remote rx.

For those of you that did not follow the thread, this was in response to
some stations that requested a compromise.
We decided to allow it only for assisted operation.
This rule mirrors exactly the accomodation made for the Stew Perry contest.

To clarify, web SDRs are OK if they are in the 100km radius. One and only
one receiver can be used.
Anyone caught using receivers outside of these limits will be subject to
disqualification.

Reminder: Single Op Assisted is HIGH POWER only.
Low power stations get listed together for this category only.

Have fun in the contest, let's hope for some good conditions!
BTW, the rule for 5 day submission of logs is not all that new.
Please email your cabrillo logs ASAP after the contest.

All the information can be found at CQ160.com.


73, Andy N2NT
Director CQ160 Contest
