Topband: CQWW DX SSB and 160 Meter Band Plan

[Jon Zaimes AA1K]

Earl,

I respectfully disagree. Other than the two contests that specify it, I
don't think there's ever been general acceptance of this as a DX window.
The old ARRL band plan called for a DX window of 1830-1850, and there was
nothing in it about not calling CQ in this window. If no one called CQ DX,
how would anyone make any contacts?
