An unfortunate cut-and-paste misfire resulted in omitting the RAC Winter
Contest and Stew Perry TBDC contests from the lists of upcoming events - I've
corrected the online version. The ARRL Letter should have the correct
information when it goes out later this week - apologies.

Maybe because XE is in NA while Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela
are not. And maybe, Mexican states are as important to Mexicans as US

Thanks Raoul for the excellent posting.
I have to admit to coming close to having to put the list back into full

Hello Raoul,
Yes there are a few 160 meter gentlemen and gentlegirls still left.
If you notice, the flaming remarks mostly are made by one person. Several years

banned from this reflector. I do have to agree that it really gets disgusting.

As Joe stated, if the rules do not appeal to you, don't operate. This is why I
haven't operated in the ARRL 160 for years as it really is a 160M SS, and I've
never found the normal SS to be all that interesting.

That's a favored operator's view of things. There are, for all
practical purposes, three major 160M contests (ARRL, and the two CQWW

I became aware of an antenna called the KAZ a few years ago. A broadcast

was taken by some to mean quarter wave dipole, and doublet was a more general
