And how do we solve the problem of dozens of stateside contestants that were 
working DX stations like 3DA0WW around 14135 and lower in the CQWW SSB? In 
these cases we know that the "wrong" VFO is not the problem. What is 
bewildering is why DX stations who know they are in the foreign phone band 
work stateside stations when they know they shouldn't be in that part of the 
band? Shouldn't both stations be DQ'd?
