Topband: DX window

[larry pace]

even though the rules of a contest do not specifically
mention a "DX window" i believe that some sort of
window should be kept clear of US and Canadian
stations.

whenever i saw a spot for a DX station and listened
on the frequency shown there was invariably a US
station calling CQ. they had no idea that DX was also
on the frequency. if there was ever a chance to hear
the DX it was completely impossible with the QRM.

most of the topband operators know how difficult it
is to hear europe from the "left" and west coast. how
about giving us a break?

regards and happy new year,
larry
