Last nite at grey line I heard a weak dx station calling over and over, at
1831.4, with no takers... Finally taking pity I buzzed him back... at the
end of the qso he said 73 es going qrt... as soon as we finished I heard a
very weak dx station, right at the noise level on the north beverage, and
having over the pole flutter on the signal, calling me ... just as the dx got
to "... k8do de..." a w station started calling the station that had gone
qrt, obliterating the dx calling me... When the w stood by I told him,
politely... "pse qsy my freq tnx qrz dx de k8do"... Instead of taking
the hint he proceeded to give me a diatribe about my having no right to
operate in the dx window, costing me the dx qso, a possible rare one... I'm
here to tell ya that I'm losing patience with these window kops.... idiots
like him are a good arguement for abolishing the dx window...
