The repeal of the 250km limit was long overdue. Should there be a U.S. 11 meter/CB DX contest to celebrate and honor this historic achievement? Maybe over the 4th of July week-end?

Just a thought.
 

I like the legal power idea, but then I've always tried to run a stock radio with a good mic (Turner +2 or +3) and a decent antenna. We we could add points for audio quality while deducting points for lousy audio and/or spurious emissions.
 
My LSB 16 suggestion did not become part of the Dx contest set up for next week-end, so my suggestion is that we try tomorrow, Sunday, June 11th to revive LSB 16. This way we won't be competing with the Dx contest later in the week. To make the effort more likely to result in contacts, I'd say we try four different specific rounds: 9:00A.M. eastern; 1:00P.M eastern; 5:00P.M. eastern and 9:00P.M This should provide for some different opportunities given differing propagation characteristics throughout the day.

Let's give LSB 16 a try!
