Well, I have to say, Doug, that's hardly surprising when the DXpedition is listening in a QSX band 25 kHz wide! In fact, their SSB station was announcing that it was "listening 7205 to 7250". What chance does that give to other band users? 73 de G3NYY It's no different than when the contesters take over the bands, Walt. And, it doesn't happen nearly as often. The 3y0 is one of the bigger fish in DX circles. It's not every day that 2000,000 hams are on the air. 'Course the contest activity also reflects the desires of the majority of those who are on at the time... Neither the contesters as a group, nor the DXers as a group, are guilty of anything here. The guilt lies with those unable to behave decently while participating in either pursuit. (I would suggest that the wide spread of the QSX band would not be a problem if the callers would actually *LISTEN* before picking a TX frequency; indeed, a wider QSX band would *reduce* the chances someone would feel the need to transmit near, or atop, an existing QSO. It also increases the chances of a lower-powered station finding a hole in the QSX band and actually being heard.) -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com Ham stuff for sale: http://www.w9wi.com/articles/4sale.htm |
