This would be a welcome change if true, however I think Rick is right. This is primarily a domestic contest, and KH2 counts the same as a KH6 - Pacific Section - even though Guam is 3,800 miles west of Hawaii (greater than the distance between NYC and LAX). This really makes it pointless to participate from my standpoint, unless I get on to hand out an easy QSO to the 20-some JAs who are active in this contest.
ARRL 160 is really a great contest - from North America. Elsewhere, CQ160 and the SP are king. 73, Dave KH2/N2NL aka NH2T On 11/25/2011 11:26 AM, Richard (Rick) Karlquist wrote: > There is an "advertisement" on the ARRL web site > for the 160 meter contest at: > > http://www.arrl.org/news/reach-for-the-top-in-the-arrl-160-meter-contest > > Unfortunately, it states the KL7, KH6, etc count as DX.
