[UK-CONTEST] Fwd: 160m Contest Rules

[G3SJJ]

That isn't going to happen Dave.You've got to be realistic. 7 KHz for a 
high power SSB window won't accommodate many stations, particularly if 
they are trying to work DX (say between the hours of 2100 to 0100 !!) 
Some of the 80m SSB Dxers have migrated to 160m. My guess it will get 
more popular, so they will spread out, and then complain if some strong 
CW contesters sit close to them.
