If you really want to keep the dx in the contest and level the playing
field, my auggestions are: 1. Establish 2 DX windows 1 at 1830 - 1835 as a
DX Xmit window and another at 1840 - 1845 as a DX Receive window and each dx
station must listen up exactly 10 khz. 2. Any non-dx station calling cq in
the DX Xmit window or ANY station calling cq in the DX Receive window should
suffer a point reduction in their score (ignorance of the rules is no
excuse). Also I would consider that a DX station can only transmit in the
DX Xmit window during the 1 hour starting at 45 minutes before and ending at
15 minutes after his local sunrise or 15 minutes before and 45 minutes after
his local sunset. Yes it costs 5 khz of band space, but nothing worth while
come for free!!
Just a thought!!
