I agree completely with the last statement.  Contrary to what many Americans
seem to think, the FCC has no authority outside the US.  If the DX window is by
'Gentleman's Agreement',  I will observe it!   If it is mandated by the
American FCC, I will have no obligation to observe it, and will feel  legally
and morally permitted to operate there.  I'm not saying I would, and I probably
would not.  But you see the point.  And this would apply to all other NA
stations outside the US.
A Gentleman's Agreement is the only way to go.

Bert,  VE3QAA
