Comments:
I enjoy the CQ 160M contests more than the ARRL 160, there is much more DX (and
I am more of a DXer than a contester). But this weekend conditions were
absolutely amazing and I managed 33 DXCC countries outside USA/VE. It was
great. And some of them actually called ME!!
There are some really great operators out there with amazing ears. I really
really enjoyed this contest. There was almost no noise. I just wish all the
USA/VE LIDS would get out of the DX window during prime DX time!! Trying to
pick out that weak SV station with a station in Ohio calling CQ CQ at S9+40 dB
is infuriating!! I know it is supposed to be challenging, but COME ON!!! I
wonder if they even KNOW there is a DX window.
I would LOVE the contest organizers to DELETE the QSOs from the log of W/VE
stations with RUNS in the DX window from their logs! I bet that would solve the
problem mighty quick.
Thanks for all the Qs guys and gals, see you in the CQ160.
