Different people call CQ DX at different times - with different results.
W7LR recently discovered that he should probably call CQ DX more often
than he does.
I occasionally do it under specific circumstances:
1. When I hear no signals on the band and am trying to create some activity.
2. When I determine that the band is *really* well open to Europe, and I
have a shot at working the 2nd or 3rd tier stations who normally do not
get results when they call CQ DX.
3. If I know several stations are looking for me on a specific frequency at
a specfic time.
Note that CQ DX only applies to the non-contest situations.
I think it has its place. Obviously, W8JI can get away with it more often
than I do...
