The dx window was useful when only the range 1832-1835kHz was allowed here. Nowadays we can use the whole spectrum starting at 1810kHz with some power limitations above 1850kHz (75W) and higher (10W from 1890).
73 Peter, DJ7WW -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Cromwell So what is this DX window? 1825 to 1830 kc? If that's where the DX calls and transmits then where do W/VE stations transmit in reply? 1820 to 1825? That's where I seem to hear W/VE stations calling CQ DX. I have at best a regional station and I am just looking for some ragchew QSOs when I am on the air. I have been dressed down for being stupid and calling CQ 1810 to 1820 because *everybody knows* there is no DX there. Duh...that's the whole point. Is that somebody else's version of some other window or just an arid desert? I already know where to not transmit to avoid W1AW. Too close to the band edge for my drifty Ranger anyway. So fill me in on where I should avoid looking for casual QSOs and where I should look. I'm happy to share the band and observe DX windows. 73, Bill KU8H _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected] _______________________________________________ Topband reflector - [email protected]
