Working Lloyd in Hawaii in 2019...that was a good one ..I about fell out
of my chair on that one...
I love to work Eu on 160 doesn't happen to me much.
And I also love to work VK's on 40 too.
Not sure why but something cool about it...

You might keep in mind that G3YRO is a bit eccentric, Fred :-)
I personally think it would be neat as heck to be in Europe for a
major 160 contest and be able to work dozens of EU countries that are
nearly "local". I might think that working USA would be the boring
part (since they are just one country).

Roger,
I for one don't like to hear that Eu stations are not calling CQ.
Maybe I'm alone on this but why not just call CQ NA only?
I rarely call CQ Contest I'm a S&P station.
I really don't contest anymore I'm usually in there but mostly to
give points and look for dx.
Here with my little pip squeak station with high noise it's tough.
I'm lucky to have a few Rx antennas or I'd be out all together.
Anyway hope to hear you and some dx on this weekend.

Excellent Doug !
I must admit, I haven't entered a Contest for over 40 years . . .
the idea
of operating for hours and hours on end just doesn't appeal any more.
However, the various 160m Contests are very useful to work lots of DX
stations.
Please bear in mind that a lot of us Topbanders in Europe don't
want to come
on calling CQ, as we'll be called by hundreds of Europeans . . .
so if you
want to work us, you need to call CQ ! (and remember, we're not
allowed
below 1810 kHz)
Good Luck to all those entering !
Roger G3YRO
