Thank you for that voice from the real world!

I don't have the kind of cash it would take to buy a radio that can work 
DX a few hundred hertz from a high-power local station.   I used to be 
able to work all kinds of DX on 160, but it's a lot harder these days.

It's even harder when there are ten high-power stations calling over the 
top of the DX, but that's a different issue.  That happens on HF, too.
