160 'test. What does this mean?

[Dan Barker]

>From the rules for this weekend's contest
(http://cq-amateur-radio.com/160%20Contest%20Rules%20200510272004.pdf) I
read "Please observe the DX window from 1830 to 1835 kHz during the hours of
darkness. The DX window is for intercontinental contacts."

Does this mean "Please avoid 1830-1835 because it's for folks not in the
contest" or does it mean "Please use 1830-1835 to make CQ WW 160 CW contacts
with another continent?"

Your second alternative is the right one
 "Please use 1830-1835 to make CQ WW 160 CW contacts
with another continent?"
Now I just need to hear another continent to work them :-)

Well, actually what it means is, "Please use this 5 KHz "DX Window" ONLY
to make intercontinental contacts.  You can make intercontinental
contacts anywhere on the band, and there were quite a few JA's around
1820 this AM.  Just don't work locals in it.
