CW: 2200Z January 25 to 2200Z January 27
SSB: 2200Z February 22 to 2200Z February 24
DEADLINES FOR LOG SUBMISSIONS ARE 5 DAYS!
I. OBJECTIVE:
For amateurs around the world to contact other amateurs in as many U.S.
states, Canadian provinces, and countries as possible utilizing the 160 meter
band.
II. BAND USE:
1810–2000 kHz in ITU Region 1. 1800–2000 kHz in ITU Regiegions 2 and 3. All
entrants are encouraged to spread out as much as possible, obeying frequency
restrictions and power limits for their own country. Any violations of the
ITU band use may result in disqualification.
III. CATEGORIES:
For Single Operator Assisted Only:Â The use of one and only one remote
receiver located within 100 kilometers of the main transmitter site is
permitted, in addition to the receiver at the transmitter site. WebSDRs are OK,
but must be located within the 100-KM limit. The rule is designed to accommodate
new technology, and for those who experience high noise levels at the
transmitting site. Anyone found using a remote receiver outside the limit
will be subject to disqualification.
For all categories:Â The main site is defined as all transmitters,
receivers, and antennas must be located on the same contiguous property. If the
property is not contiguous, then all equipment must fall within a 1500-meter
radius. All antennas must be connected by wires to the main station. This rule
applies to all entrants.
The use of any so-called “Chat Rooms†via the internet or similar means
for communication between stations or operators during the contest period is
strictly prohibited. Do not arrange or confirm QSOs by any other means than the
use of the 160-meter band and the same mode as used in the contest. Any such use
may result in disqualification at the discretion of the committee. The use of
self-spotting is not allowed in any category.
Remote operation for categories other than Single Operator
Assisted is permitted under the following conditions:
- The use of any receiver located away from the main site is strictly
prohibited.
- The use of a separate receiver at the remote control location is prohibited.
- Any receiver linked via the Internet or RF not physically located at the
main site is strictly prohibited.
- If the remote station is located in another DXCC entity, it is required to
comply with all local country regulations.
Operating time: Each contest is 48 hours long and starts at
2200Z. Single operator stations may only operate 30 out of the 48 hours.
Multi-Operator stations may operate 40 hours. Off times must be a minimum of 30
minutes in length for all categories.
(A) Single Operator:Â One person performs all of the operating,
logging, and spotting functions. Maximum operating time is 30
hours. Passive spotting is NOT allowed. (See definition of
passive spotting functions below.) Only one transmitted signal is allowed at any
moment in time. Maximum power is 1500 watts total output.
(B) Single Operator/Low Power:Â Same as (A) with the exception that
the output power shall not exceed 150 watts. Stations in this category compete
with other Low Power stations only.
© QRP: Same as (A) with the exception that the output power shall
not exceed 5 watts. Stations in this category compete with other QRP stations
only. Note: There is no Assisted category for QRP entrants.
(D) Single Operator Assisted: HIGH POWER ONLY. Same as (A) with the
following exceptions: The use of passive spotting IS allowed (See
definition of passive spotting functions below); The use of one and only one
remote receiver within 100 kilometers of the transmitter site is allowed.
(E) Multi-Operator: HIGH POWER ONLY. All rules apply as in Single Op
Assisted ( except remote receivers ARE NOT allowed); however, more than
one operator (person) is involved in the operation. Maximum operating time is 40
hours. Only one transmitted signal is allowed at any moment in time. Maximum
power is 1500 watts total output or the output power allowed by your country,
whichever is less. The use of passive spotting is allowed.
Passive Spotting is defined as (but not limited to):
- DX spotting nets or QSO alerting assistance of any kind.
- Over-the-air nets or stations that provide frequency and station
information.
- Any device or person that provides frequency and callsign information of any
station during the contest period. This includes band skimmers or similar
devices. Passive spotting does NOT include band scopes, SDR receivers, or the
like, which provide no information about the signal other than its presence,
which is allowed in all categories.
IV. EXCHANGE:
RS(T) and state for U.S., province for Canada, and CQ Zone for DX. Note:
Zones are location indicators only and do not count for multipliers.
V. MULTIPLIER:
U.S. States:Â (48 contiguous states); U.S. District of Columbia (DC)
(1)
Canadian Provinces:Â (14) VO1, VO2, NB, NS, PEI (VY2), VE2, VE3, VE4,
VE5, VE6, VE7, VE8 (NWT), VY1 (YUK), VY0. Note VO1 and VO2 are separate due to
tradition.
DXCC plus WAE countries:Â WAE: GM/Shetland (Shetland Islands), IG9/IH9
(African Italy – Lampedusa and Pantelleria Islands), IT, JW (Bear Island), TA1
(European Turkey), 4U1VIC (Vienna International Center), Z6 (Kosovo).
VI. POINTS:
Contacts with stations in own country: 2 points.
Contacts with other countries on same continent: 5 points.
Contacts with other continents: 10 points
Maritime mobile contacts count 5 points. There is no multiplier value for a
maritime mobile contact.
VII. SCORING:
All stations—the final score is the result of the total QSO poinnts
multiplied by the sum of all multipliers (states, VE provinces, DX
countries).
VIII. AWARDS:
Certificates will be awarded to the top scorers in each class (see provisions
under classes) by state, Canadian area, and DX country. Runners-up with high
scores over 100,000 points may also receive certificates. The trophies and
donors for all categories can be found on the official contest web site
CQ160.com. If you are interested in sponsoring a plaque, please contact us at:
< questions@CQ160.com>.
IX. CLUB COMPETITION:
Any club that submits at least three logs may enter the Club Competition. The
name of the club must be clearly identified under club competition on the
summary sheet, or summary portion of the Cabrillo log. Please make sure all
entrants from your club use the same club name (spelled the same) in the
Cabrillo entry. Non-compliance with this request may result in your score not
being credited to your club’s entry.
X. LOG INSTRUCTIONS:
The deadline for log submissions is 5 days from the end of the
contest.
For CW this is 2200z Feb 1, 2019.
For SSB this is 2200z Mar 1, 2019.
The submission of Cabrillo logs is required. Please submit CQ WW 160 Meter
Contest logs via the web upload tool found at:Â https://cq160.com/logcheck/
Paper/Disk logs: Paper logs or other formats than Cabrillo will be
considered for Check Logs only. *
Mail all paper logs to: CQ 160 Meter Contest, c/o N2NT, PO Box 25, Dayton, NJ
08810 USA. Indicate CW or SSB on the envelope.
For hardship cases that require more time for log submission, send an e-mail
to < director@CQ160.com>. We
will make every effort to accommodate you if you have a valid reason for
delay.
Cabrillo formatted logs are received by a log processing robot. If your log
has been submitted correctly, the robot will reply with a confirmation. If there
is a problem with your log, the robot will send you an error message containing
suggestions for how to fix your log. Read this e-mail carefully. Most log
submission problems are minor and can be corrected in one pass. Submit your log
as many times as needed. The last submitted log will be the version that counts
for your official entry. You can check the status of your log at our web page
Log Received tab. Other inquiries may be sent to <questions@CQ160.com>.
Be sure to send in paper and diskette based logs early to ensure receipt by
the deadlines. Unreadable paper logs will be classified as check logs.
XI. PENALTIES AND DISQUALIFICATION:
Logs will be cross-checked and penalties will be applied at the committee’s
discretion for contacts determined to be bad or busted. The bad QSO is removed
and a penalty of two more equivalent QSOs is applied to the points only. No
penalty should be applied for unique QSOs unless they are deemed excessive. A
log may be disqualified for violation of amateur radio regulations,
unsportsmanlike conduct, or claiming excessive unverified contacts.
Report file outputs showing final score calculations will be available for
all entrants after the results are published. The decisions of the CQ WW 160
Contest Committee are final.
XII. DECLARATION:
By submitting a CQ 160 Meter Contest log, and in consideration of the efforts
of the CQ WW 160 Contest Committee to review and evaluate that log, an entrant
unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that he/she has: 1) read and understood
the rules of the contest and agrees to be bound by them, 2) operated according
to all rules and regulations that pertain to amateur radio for the station
location, 3) agreed the log entry may be made open to the public, and 4)
accepted that the issuing of disqualifications and other decisions of the
Committee are official and final. If an entrant is unwilling or unable to agree
to all of the foregoing, the entrant should not submit the entry or submit the
entry as a Checklog only.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Balázs Kovács, who shares
the following radio sightings and notes:
The Priest’s rig from the last episode of “The Walking
Dead“
A Yaesu in “Jurassic World – Fallen
Kingdom“
Some emergency/weather radios in the “The Darkest
Minds“
 
The Last Ship S05E01
After a cyber attack a backup comm
solution for the US Navy.
 
Night of the Living Dead (1968/1990)
In the original a
radio broadcast was the first information source, in the remake only a small one
was used at the end.
  
Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016)
In a remote
shack.
+1: The “Ãlmodozások
kora†(Age of Illusions (US) / The Age of Daydreaming (Int)) was the first
(Hungarian) feature film of the director István
Szabó (winner of an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1981
(Mephisto), English language films: Meeting Venus (1991), Sunshine (1999),
Taking Sides (2001), the Oscar nominated Being Julia (2004) and The Door (2012))
in 1965 about a group of young electrical engineers. Two scenes from it about
the radios, unfortunately I found the hungarian speaking version only online,
but I think maybe it can be still interesting: https://ok.ru/video/228250552961
- 33:58-35: A custom rig receiving 4 european stations (Paris, London, Rome,
Prague) on different speakers at the same time
- 1:05:43-1:07:20: “How radio works†animation
- (and there was a short scene also where they talk about the The Pioneer
Railway and how they learned the morse code there)
I found another (splited) version of the movie now with english subtitles,
the new links and timings:

A custom rig receiving 4 European stations (Paris, London, Rome, Prague) on

https://ok.ru/video/904028097176
20:00-21:39
“How radio works†animation
The same actor (András Bálint) 13 years later have a short ham radio scene
(new year greetings in english) in another movie (BUÉK, 1978). I checked the
callsign from the wall (HA5FA) and probably it was already a real one, belongs
to Jen? Matzon, active member of the radio amateur community (DXCC Honor Roll,
etc.) now a Silent Key.
Wow! Many thanks for sharing all of these radio spots, Balazs! Funny thing is
I remember so well those shots from Night of the Living Dead even
though I likely watched it 40 years ago! I guess I never forget a Zenith!
Of course, I’ll add this post to our ever growing archive of radios in
film!

and the basement shack was a balmy 60 F (15 C), but I decided to give the 40
Meter QRP Fox Hunt a whirl with the magloop, anyway. I was able to locate Wayne
N4FP in Florida rather easily and worked him without a problem. Physically
rotating the loop to where I could hear him the loudest, helped
tremendously. Drew K9CW in Illinois was a different story. He was weak,
VERY weak, no matter which way I oriented the loop. But since I had discovered
where he was hiding, I decided to run to the basement shack to see if I could
hear him any better there. Using the Butternut HF9V, almost as soon as I
sat down, I caught him on a QSB peak and completed the exchange for the second
pelt. After that, he faded away and I was able to hear him no better than on the
loop. So I cannot conclusively say that the HF9V outperformed the magloop in
this case. I just may have been fortunate to have caught him at just the right
time with the HF9V. For all I know, he might have come up just as loudly on the
loop. There was no way I was able to make a direct A to B comparison. One
thing I will say, though ……. the loop is much easier to to tune now. I took one
of the sidereal drive “extenders†from my telescope and fit it onto the
shaft of the tuning capacitor of the loop. Before I just had a plain ol’
vanilla knob. The “extender†is long enough to remove any hand capacitance
effect that my body previously presented, throwing off the setting once I
removed my hand. Now I can tune for loudest background noise, and lowest SWR and
nothing changes when I remove myself from the equation.
Before
After
I was pleasantly surprised at what a
difference this extension proved to make. 72 de Larry W2LJ QRP - When

Volunteer Examiner Coordinators across the US are continuing to receive
paperwork from Amateur Radio exam sessions held during the partial government
shutdown. While it’s still possible to access the Universal Licensing System
( ULS) and file applications, the
FCC is not processing individual, club, and exam session — new and upgrade —
Amateur Ra Radio applications. The FCC closed most operations on January 3, when
available funding ran out. According to the FCC public notice, aside from a few
emergency and auction-filing systems, all other Commission electronic filing
systems will be unavailable to the public until normal agency operations
resume.
“Nothing’s moving until the FCC reopens,†said ARRL VEC Manager Maria
Somma, AB1FM. “ARRL VEC continues to enter exam session, individual, and club
license data into the system while we wait for the FCC to reopen and normal
agency operations to resume. We have approximately 1,600 applications and 125
exam sessions waiting in the queue to be processed. Everything’s in there
ready to go.â€
Somma stressed that, although license upgrade applications are still on hold,
current FCC Amateur Radio licensees who have successfully upgraded and hold a
Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination (CSCE) may operate
temporarily using the privileges of their new license class, until their new
licenses are granted.
Even though it’s not possible for the FCC to grant a new license, a license
upgrade, a change of address or other modification, or a vanity call sign
application, the Commission Registration System ( CORES) remains functional to
allow critical radio services to obtain FRNs and file applications during the
shutdown. Registering a user name and logging into CORES is required to apply
for and receive an FCC Registration Number (FRN). An FRN is a unique 10-digit
identifier necessary to conduct business with the FCC and to manage existing
FRNs. The FCC said that starting in March, users who already have an FRN from
the legacy Commission Registration System will need to create a user name to
continue managing their FRNs.
If an Amateur Radio license recently has expired or is about to expire, the
licensee can apply for license renewal via the ULS and continue to operate while
the FCC is closed. The filed application will remain in limbo until the FCC is
back to work. Licensee who wait until the FCC reopens to apply then will have 2
days to submit a renewal application before the license is considered to have
expired in the FCC database.
The FCC has said it would not automatically extend deadlines in cases where
the license has expired and the 2-year grace period has expired, but said it
would “consider whether it is appropriate to do so once normal operations
resume.â€Â

Ham radio SSTV from the Space Station
The Inter-MAI amateur radio Slow Scan Television experiment on the
International Space Station is scheduled to be activated Jan 30 – Feb 1 on
145.800 MHz FMÂ
Received information that the Moscow Aviation Institute will be conducting
their SSTV experiment from January 30 – February 1.Â
It appears from the scheduling that the experiment will only be active during
a couple of orbits that overfly Moscow instead of a continuous operation. Rough
time periods of activation appear to fall between the hours of 13:00 – 19:00
UTC. Activity should occur on the traditional 145.800 MHz downlink.Â

You can receive the pictures from the ISS by using the MMSSTV software and an
Online Radio (WebSDR). Select a Frequency of 145800.0 kHz and Mode FM: •
Farnham WebSDR when ISS in range of London http://farnham-sdr.com/• R4UAB WebSDR when
ISSS is over Russia http://websdr.r4uab.ru/
