It is much like billionaires making rules for the middle class and
working poor.
It's also like those who don't pay income tax deciding how much those
who pay income taxes should pay and how those taxes are spent or those
who don't own property determining how much those who own property
should be taxed for that property for the benefit of others. However,
since this is not a political science reflector the comments are off
topic.

I never understood, and never agreed with the "160 committee" abolishing
the DX window.
I thought it showed people with larger stations on the east coast have
lost touch with life with smaller stations in difficult areas. It is
much like billionaires making rules for the middle class and working poor.
Certainly large stations on the coast have little or no use for a DX
only area, but I can't imagine what possessed someone to think that was
a good idea for people distant from saltwater paths.
