EU slice of the HF world is about 10.000 km covering whole USA and  
Japan.
I can happily run parallel with Oceania stations most of the time.
Only DX Cluster may show double occupancy.

Hamradio freqs are least used part of HF spectrum.
We are not preserving them by NOT using them.
HF OTH radars appear quickly in our bands.

I often quote K3EST:  The best antenna is one radiating most!
I even enjoy QRP CW :-)
