Subject: Top Band 160Mtr DX Window Question
When you hear DX in the window jump in and work them! When you have =
accomplished that, get out of the window and continue listening and =
tuning the band for more DX. Never sit in the window and call CQ! One or =
two stations doing this blocks the window and spoils it for the =
multitudes. I have worked CW DX from 1800 to 1840 so there are plenty of =
other places to call CQ or CQ DX.
=20
I know we are going to get static from the rare SSB station that claims. =
" I can work anywhere that I want to". When this happens I don't argue =
and get my blood pressure up. I can turn the set off or go to another =
band!=20
=20
I have been enjoying this band for 42 years and it can really be a lot =
of fun! Of course we all want to work that rare DX station but usually =
on this band if you are patient and wait 20 or 30 minutes he will be =
coming in a lot stronger and your chances will get better for finally =
working him. Can you imagine how he feels with 30 stations or more =
calling him at the same time??=20
=20
If we show a little more patience and consideration for the other =
station, I am sure there will be more fun and more DX put into the =
logbooks. I promise to send QRL IMI at least twice before jumping on a =
new freq. and calling a CQ. Will you do the same??
=20
Hope to work you on Top Band!!
