For those active in this weekend ARRL DX contest. Be aware that in many non USA countries there are restrictions on use of the 160m band. Except for some exceptions below 1810 transmitting is not allowed. A lot of countries have a restriction above 1850.
Most countries have 1830-1850 in common. For USA stations this is the most effective part to call CQ. For the Europeans it would be helpful if those countries who do not have a restriction to keep out of 1830-1850 and call CQ below or above that portion of the band.
