I agree with W1BB's and K6SE's feeling about the DX window:
> The DX window provided the USA station with a frequency segment in
> which to listen that would be free of "local" QRM.
I would think that the majority of the stateside stations agree with this.
I'm curious as to what the prevailing thought in European is. I suspect
that Nebraska is more rare in CT, EA, F, G, I, etc than they are here
(NO, I'm not going to start CQing in the window on account of that).
How do they cope with no "stateside window?" It wouldn't surprise
me if their "average stations" have a tougher time working North America
"DX" than the American's do in working the Europeans.
On good condition days the window is more than full at times and
we both fight the QRM from our locals. Where would they prefer
stateside CQers to be?
