Could the reason for the DX window from 3.780-3.8 be because some ITU
regions are not be licensed to operate above 3.8? I remember when even the
US stations couldn't go below 3.8. So given, couldn't the DX window be
moved to the low end of the band?
Not that I suggest upsetting some SSBer's apple cart, but now that U.S. hams
can go all the way to 3.6, that gives a lot of space for DX operation. In
fact, we might see a lot of cross region operation, and with the growing
popularity of AM on the European continent, we might actually hear some AM
DX on the band this winter.

Hi Jim,
Although you don't specifically mention it --- like someone else did
previously --- I think it would be MOST foolhardy for any AM'er to plop
himself down & start with the ol' buzzardry stuff in the vicinity of
3.780-
& 3.8-MHz...yeah, the traditional DX window...
It's not always for the benefit of domestic SSB'ers that such windows
exist --- in many cases, DX stations have but a sliver of spectrum space
on
some bands that's available/useable: North American DX-types have tried to
accommodate them through these windows. The DX stations benefit from these
arrangements just as much as the W/K/VE crowd does.
I think the last thing anyone would want to incur is the wrath of the
entire
global DX community coming down upon them, merely because it's their
"...legal right" to do something!
