Hello Jeff
well, don´t know about no more DX Windows, I think there´s no more DX
windows because many people don´t respect it so maybe the easy solution was
to remove it?
What I mean in my poor english about real DX, is about the distance,
comparing 7500 kmts to W4 and 11500 kmts to central Europe with with 2500
kmts and 8500 from Caribbean
So don´t be ofended about the beautiful PJ2T and the guys there, I am
thinking about distance and a space for the far away stations, PJ2T or
maybe for example CR2X. If I start cqing in 1832.8 and then I hear
splatters from PJ2T or CR2X in 1832.5 I think that nobody will hear me in
USA or Europe :-)
And you are not alone, MANY people don't have 'deep pockets' investors to
build a "powerhouse" and MANY people has been improving stations with time,
people, and personal effort.
Good luck in the contest
