Hi Dave,
I understand your frustration. However, WPX is world-wide, and a lot of
good stuff is in in the lower 25KHz. Unless it is daytime in the US, the
percentage of stations to work (as US generals) would be very small
compared to the total people in the contest. That said, I worked people
all the way up to 7062, and of course much DX was calling CQ above 7025.
My running frequencies included as low as 7000.3 and as high as 7030. All
were very productive.
