Hi Everyone. It's -10 deg F Wind Chill in NJ today (-23deg C) and that can mean only one thing. The CQ 160 CW Contest is here!
There are a few plaques that now need sponsorship. Please look at the list: https://cq160.com/plaques.htm If you wish to sponsor any of the open ones, or have another category in mind please contact me directly. Please visit our web site at CQ160.com and check the latest rules. https://cq160.com/rules.htm We expect all the rules to be obeyed as usual, and please spread out as much as possible. We realize there will be some FT8 activity around 1840. I am hoping most of them will plug in their CW key and work stations the old fashioned way. Remember you must obey the ITU Region rules regarding operational frequencies. If you are found to operate outside these limits, it may be grounds for DQ. Also, we will be doing a lot of RBN analysis to find power violations. We realize this is not a true measurement, but we can find outliers. Please observe the power limits set in the rules. Also pay close attention to the remote RX rules, we will be alerted to any use of remote SDR etc using web based systems. *For Single Op Assisted only *You are allowed one and only one remote RX within 100KM. We expect good conditions, no storms and plenty of DX. CU on Topband! 73, Andy N2NT Director CQ160 Contest _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
