Then where are non-DX CW QSO's supposed to take place? I try to avoid the
DX window above 1825 unless working DX, and even 1820-25 is active with DX
when condx are good. PSK31 and other digital modes are increasingly showing
up below 1810. For the past several years I have tended to operate just
below the W1AW frequency. But if DX operation is starting to appear in the
vicinity of 1817.5 and we are now urged to avoid that part of the band,
where is there left to go? I suppose I could go above 1900 but I'd bet I
could call CQ for hours on end on CW up there without a response.
