Well, you do realize of course, it won't take many contest QSO's for the K5D
team to "win" their DXCC entity.

Maybe during the 48 hours of the ARRL DX Contest, CW, the Desecheo K5D
operators will limit themselves to the non-contest bands ... i.e., 30, 17,
and 12 meters. And to phone operating. That would be nice.
A small price for Big Gun contesters to pay for missing one contest
multiplier.

This weekend I listened a while to the EU mess around K5D.
Specially on 40m there was a lot of confusion because K5D listened down
on CW, resulting in a lot of frustations to innocent PACC participants
who got a large pileup landing on them.
Still remember last years operation of VP6DX which made the small SSB
part of 160 useless during the cq160.
I really hope K5D will stay away from cw during the ARRL DX coming
weekend, having a large split frequency operation will cause a lot of
troubles during a major contest like the arrl dx. It will also make
large portions of the band unusable, which is a problem on 160 and 40.
