- I have been asked to once again write the QST article and web page content for the ARRL 160M contest this coming weekend. (RULES) http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2004/160-Meters.html I'm told that

- Hi Ford and all, I think remembering we discussed what follows, after last year's event. To that regard, I already talked to ARRL people about this, but there was no interest. Haven't read this year'

- For 75% of NA, your description is appropriate. Your comment is interpreted as having a virtual disdain for one of the most popular contests in NA (SS). As in any contest with multipliers, bagging 'n

- My friend Mr. Peterson makes an interesting point which has a fairly obvious, though unacceptable, solution. Simply make the ARRL 160 meter contest a one band SS contest with the stipulation that DX

- I too understand EU station's frustration during the 160 contests. I usually look deep for DX because I just enjoy working them. Many, many times a strong NA station is calling CQ just a few hundred

- Thanks for the private and collective input. Let me close this topic with some final comments. Years ago when I first started contesting, I entered the ARRL10m contest with several goals : have fun,
