Topband: DX window

[Ron Feutz]

Not sure how anything you say applies.  It is expected, and has been common 
practice forever, for NA stations to call and work DX on their calling 
frequency in the window, unless the DX specifies otherwise.  No one has 
suggested that the FCC mandate a window.  It has always been by Gentlemen's 
Agreement.
