The problem is that then you would have no way to communicate with the pileup as a whole. Newcomers would not know your listening range and the pile would spread farther and farther, causing much problems with other users of the band. Chaos. 73, Duane, WV2B

Assuming the Dx station moves around and answers callers on their own frequency, and does not work more than one caller on a particular frequency- The DX operator has no way to communicate to the pileup as a whole. They will be listening on their own frequency for the Dx to answer them, not

What about intentional qrmers? These guys have now found another way to make it difficult for DX'ers in a "split" pile-up. They quickly find the station that's been answered by the DX-station and send a carrier over the caller instead - this also prevents the QSO to "be finished".

Peter, Hmmm. Not a bad idea, but I'm not so sure how well it would work. Remember, at the time that US Phone privileges started at 14.200, the 14.1 - 14.2 part of the band was filled with DX Phone. Now, while a lot of the region below 14.150 still has DX Phone, you're also finding more and more

. If I recall, 14195 became the DX frequency because it was a place where DX stations could TX but that Americans could not (US privileges started at 14200 for the longest time). Maybe it's time to revive that tradition and make 14145 the new default DX frequency on 20 SSB. It could have the

We're giving the freebanders and intentional QRMers entirely too much attention and too much publicity. Going back 40+ years I can't remember a DXpedition that didn't get some QRM, though it's a lot more these days... but that just makes working the DX that much more of a challenge. Ignore
