Gary,
Your answer doesn't explain why a lot of Europeans tend to call *HIGHER*
than zero beat, which was Ward's original observation. The fact that
East Coast stations tend to work a lot of EU does explain why many East
Coasters (as well as others) notice a large number of European off
frequency callers, but it doesn't explain why more Europeans seem to
call higher rather than lower.
