Topband: CQ160

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

You nail it Carl....If there could only be by gentleman's agreement in 
Europe a 5 Khz window anywhere on the band for NA stations to be at 
least heard and worked...sort of a EU "CQ Test"  machine free zone.  
Would that be of any help? I have thought of using 1809 and QSX up on 
1811 but understand there are commercial data transmitters below 1810 
there in EU.
