thought I would pass along my suggestions made recently to the CQ 160
Contest Director.
Just my Dos Centavos. 73 de Milt, N5IA
OBTW, IMHO remote receivers for 160 Meter contesting should be allowed
within a 75 mile radius circle (150 mile diameter) of the transmitting
and 17 days of operation.
In all cases subtract at a minimum two days from the operation total to
apply to the 160 M operations.
Enjoy, and look for the upcoming web site by Bernd, DF3CB, with all the
details and
breakdowns of all the DXpeditions.
