I stand by my suggestion and I don't see my suggestion as nonsense in
the least. Go here and read section 6.1
http://www.arrl.org/160-meter - The ARRL who host this contest state
plainly that this segment should be used for intercontinental QSOs
only, ergo: the DX window.
Since US & VE are disregarding this directive and using it selfishly
to the detriment of the others in the contest who are playing by the
rules, I say the offending stations should be penalized for ignoring
the rules. What is nonsense about that?
My point is the W/VE should not be within the DX window calling CQ in
the first place. I can't imagine anyone would be there calling CQ and
expect a constant pileup of DX to be calling them. What is more
likely is they may feel by being in that window they will be in a
perfect location to get the maximum DX multipliers and by holding
that bandwidth in that limited and specific segment, minimize the #
of multipliers others will be able to get.
