That is a good point. Someone mentioned 'DXIS' which is right. But, if I hear a PY calling CQDX, I'd assume he doesn't mean the U.S., so I rarely answer them. Same with a JA, I'd imagine he's not lookng for the U.S. 73 Tom W7WHY didja ever notice that "DX" is used, as a term, usually as "non-USA." Kinda America-centered. 73 -- Charly, HS0ZCW
