21. Re: Topband: ARRL 160m contest and DX Window? (score: 1)
Author: Guy Olinger K2AV <k2av.guy@gmail.com>

Indeed. The alternative contest is called the CQ 160, and has different rules, and does NOT have the DX window. Is there some reason why we would want all contests with the same rules? And then there

The DX window is a nearly completely obsolete concept for contests, now rejected by every contest sponsor except ARRL. The ARRL Contest Advisory Committee (CAC) in writing recommended discontinuing t

An awful lot of our advice depends on unnoticed assumptions based in the commercial BC paradigm. Go to any place where there is a commercial AM BC tower. Figure out a one wavelength radius circle aro

Using FlexWeave and insulation is a take-off on the kind of wire that they put down in the slices in pavement for sensor loops. The insulation also serves as mechanical protection, and the flexible c

The 1000 feet of wire trenched in ice was doomed from the start. 160m BOG's longer than 220 feet start to not model well, and start to not perform well. One can easily model a BOG that has a pattern

My question is why penalize the bloke on the innocent end of the QSO. He didn't do anything wrong. Would your rule apply to a station running 1600 watts instead of 1500. Or 1500 watts instead of 100?
