Not sure how anything you say applies. It is expected, and has been common
practice forever, for NA stations to call and work DX on their calling
frequency in the window, unless the DX specifies otherwise. No one has
suggested that the FCC mandate a window. It has always been by Gentlemen's
Agreement.

First of all, the key is if DX CQ's in the "window"
they have to QSX OUT of the window.
Secondly, the FCC will never mandate a "DX window."
Good DX on 160 to all in 2004!

Topbanders,
A window is absolutely vital to me. Under usual conditions, with the
auroral oval cutting off most EU and JA DX, I need a place to go and see
if anything is coming thru. In the Stew, US stations for the most part
stayed out of the old window, 1830-35, and it was pretty useful for
me. I did ask one US station to move, as he was calling CQ on top of a
G. I quickly explained this and he answered OK SRI.
All the debate over who is DX is just a bunch of blah blah blah to
me. Why can't we just go back to the Gentlemen's Agreement and leave
that chunk of band for non-NA stations to CQ in?
