Topband: ARRL 160M and 1830-1835 change

[Tim Shoppa]

Also as I review this years ARRL 160M rules...

An earlier version of the rules (current in 2012) here
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20Rules%20PDFs/2012/2012-160M-Rules-V2.pdf
says "6.1 The segment 1.830 to 1.835 should be used for intercontinental
QSOs only".

The latest version here
https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/160M-Rules.pdf notes that "6. the
1830-135 kHz window is no longer reserved for W/VE-to-DX QSOs in this
contest".

Does anyone recall, when the rule was officially changed? It wasn't being
well respected in some previous years if it was in effect.
