Actually, ARRL's Amateur Auxiliary (Official Observer corps as
reconstituted a few years ago) *should* be doing that kind of
thing. Unfortunately, the ARRL CEO is so incompetent that he
provides little effective leadership so what ARRL does is done
poorly and without concern for the membership.

Yes, that's annoying, but you're assuming that the FCC has both the
inclination and the resources to pursue violations like that. I think
they have shown for a long time now that they have neither.

If I were the FCC, I would camp out on or near 7.125 MHz on Saturday
during the CQ WW Phone contest and start logging the calls of all the
US operators calling DX stations there. (If you call on that frequency
on LSB, you're illegally transmitting out-of-band.)
Just between the 1st and 7th innings of the baseball game yesterday, I
logged 30 stations who did exactly that: they all called IP9C on
7,125.5. I'm sure there were many more.
I have no idea whether the scoring committee disallows contacts made
this way, or whether that's even checked. Certainly, those stations
should not get credit for the illegal contacts.
W6LX said that.
