[CQ-Contest] Suggestion - don't make stateside to stateside QSOsduring the EU opening

[Milt -- N5IA]

Well, I don't get to do many runs to EU on 160 Meters, but it surely is 
exasperating (a kind understatement) to be trying to dig out a real weak one 
during a JA "run" and after a minute or two rotate the Beverage selector 
switch to the eastward direction and find a pee water weak W1-W4 calling in. 
And then when I finally decipher the call through the QRN and QSB dips, it 
turns out to be a DUPE.

Anyone remember the single photo cartoon series which appeared in the daily 
newspapers in the '50's and '60's titled, "The Urge to Kill"?

YES, use the big marble between your shoulders for something other than a 
headphone rack!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mis dos centavos.

While nobody likes the 0 pointers, they are a necessary evil.
What isn't necessary is calling fellow stateside stations during the
maximum rate hours, i.e., when the band is open to Europe.
