I completely agree from the perspective of penalties. Lately I have
taken to purposely not working stations where there is the possibility
of working the wrong station or miscopy. The penalty imposed by
organizers is greater than the missed Q. I ascribe to the system Tree

one of them can be heard somewhere on 1820. There should
be, maybe is, a "Worldwide freqs to avoid on 160" list for
DXpeditioners, starting with even 10's. USA just one of many affected.

how regularly parts of the band are used for DX is,
IMHO, specious. Obviously there isn't likely to be much activity til the
band opens somewhere and a DX station shows up.
PS: Lest anyone think I'm unduly biased, while not a regular I have used
digital modes including JT65 on 160 and o

deal breaker to the CW activity.
Like Tom I neither endorse nor object to digi activity, except as it

"Try" 160 at 2300Z? What it will take is a daily dedication to the low
bands (80 and 40 needed here as well) for as long as its dark in 3C0.
2300Z is still 90 minutes to sunset in CO and 3 hours on the west coast.
Bearing in mind there's just two ops, that would mean a sharply
decreased emphasi
for example, an entire contest log. Now it seems
more like a balancing act between my personal goals, finance, and the
electronic tools.
Gotta run now. TU2T and 6O0N cards just came in the mail...

to imagine is A6 anything being strength A in Colorado on 160!)

It most likely also means whatever Jimmy is connecting the radials to is
probably not the actual antenna. This result just cannot be, if the
