For now, its a universal problem on 40. I spent a lot
of time on Saturday night during ARRL DX and you could
tell that the DX stations were having to cluster their
listening freqs away from the BCI. I would find a lot
of stations listening on the same freq or within 0.50
Kc of each other. There was a huge cluster of folks
listening from 7288 to 7292 which must be a clear
frequency range in Europe.
Others were listening around 7210 to 7213.
With 0.5 Kc spacing on receive, I think most folks
could tell whose Qs were whose. But certainly there
was some overlap.
