I came on Saturday morning only for a short time, starting around 1015 Z.
The boat was anchored off Christmas Island, T32.
NA signals were generally strong. Many East Coast stations were S6 to S7.
West coast stations were often S9. ZF2VE was S9+. I thought that conditions
(here) very very good.
Same here:
Ive not heard Zone 16. Only a few from Zone 15.

Here near Nikolaev I have not heard a single station from North America.
Such is life Roger - you wait, you wait for a holiday. And someone
takes
it and cancels it.

I have the same opinion about propagation.
The first night I heard nothing about the SS North America.
Half an hour before my SR I had 4 qso NA, including one VE.
The next night there was perfect silence on the band.

Well I came on for a couple of hours on Friday night, and managed to work 55
NA stations . . . I think I worked everyone I heard, bar one station that
seemed deaf to copying ANY of the many EU stations calling him !
Came on again a couple of times briefly on Saturday night, and it was mainly
The full results of the Dec 2017 ARRL 160 Meter Contest are now available
online at arrl.org -- congrats to the winners, and everyone who had fun in the
contest!
This is my last writeup. For more than 10 years, it's been fun to see the
results early and pass along a few stories after each
After playing in the ARRL DX contest in the early morning hours, it looks
to me that what is *really* needed is a small DX window somewhere in the 15
kHz JA segment 1810-1825. Heck, it could even be less than 5 kHz wide.
From my QTH in the central USA, I could copy JAs who were working NA

Worked more than 140 stations.
Antenna tuned in 1.830-1.850 segment, so I spent most time there and
sometimes when left frequencie to S/P, was too difficult find free segment
in 1.830-1.835 due to large number of BIG USA Guns callin CQ and working
between each other local QSOs. Guys in USA maybe
The DX window is a nearly completely obsolete concept for contests, now
rejected by every contest sponsor except ARRL. The ARRL Contest Advisory
Committee (CAC) in writing recommended discontinuing the window in the 160
contest, but that was nixed by someone in the ARRL chain of command. So the

I end up working most of my 5-pointers (DX by ARRL standards at least)
outside the supposed DX window.
In e.g. CQ WW I observe some good self-segregation between loud USA running
stations and the actual DX running stations. The big multi-multis seem to
put their 160M run frequencies either high

Thanks for all the replies. I'm finally beginning to realize that the DX
Window was for an earlier time when 160m band allocations were much
different.
I see that there's nothing about any window for the Stew at

Thank you, Petr. Some of this is mentioned at
http://www.pacificdxpedition.com/download/160m-frequencies.pdf which I have
hanging next to my radio. The 1830-1835 DX Window is on that chart, and
that's one of the reasons I had this stuck in my head. :-)

Hi Peter
I don ´t think so. :)
I have just 2x BOGs, 1x Hi-Z vertical and MiniDiamond W2PM loop all
connected to
wireless antenna switch. If You will add the
time for tunning around frequency using RIT + playing with four rx
antennas and tx antenna
then You have about 5sec...
Well of course

The ARRL 160 meter contest is this weekend. I know there has been a lot
of
controversy in the past about the 1830
of
the Gentlemen band we should demonstrate it by example and some talk

Since it is an ARRL-centric contest, it makes complete sense the score
