I stand by my suggestion and I don't see my suggestion as nonsense in the least. Go here and read section 6.1 http://www.arrl.org/160-meter - The ARRL who host this contest state plainly that this segment should be used for intercontinental QSOs only, ergo: the DX window.
Since US & VE are disregarding this directive and using it selfishly to the detriment of the others in the contest who are playing by the rules, I say the offending stations should be penalized for ignoring the rules. What is nonsense about that? My point is the W/VE should not be within the DX window calling CQ in the first place. I can't imagine anyone would be there calling CQ and expect a constant pileup of DX to be calling them. What is more likely is they may feel by being in that window they will be in a perfect location to get the maximum DX multipliers and by holding that bandwidth in that limited and specific segment, minimize the # of multipliers others will be able to get.
