The current 42 hour format of the CQ 160 Contests do not allow all
areas of the world two full darkness periods. Also, there is no operating
time limit which requires serious contestants to CQ at very low response
rates during daylight hours making the contest both boring and tiring. I've
posted a survey at the bottom of the http://www.contesting.com/ home
page with the following choices. Please vote!
73, Bill W4ZV
Leave it as is (42 hours no time limit)
24 hours (no time limit)
48 hours (no time limit)
24 hours (15 hours max operating time)
48 hours (30 hours max operating time)
