IMO they need to realize that they have wiped out so many DX contacts with
their automated qrm generator operation over the years.  A more prudent
approach for them would be to move up to 1990KHz or so which would allow them
to continue their code practice without causing QRM to other contacts.  
The Dx-
stations overseas have no idea that W1AW is QRMing such a large portion of the
band, especially on the East Coast of NA. But they are their by tradition
alone so it may be difficult for them to do the right thing and move to a
better spot on the band.
