It is just as bad even when the DX is working split and listening up 5-15Kc. He will clearly call a particular station, and if you tune up the listening spread, you will hear hundreds of stations still calling even though the DX is on a particuar listening freq and wanting only that call. How ignorant is that. Shame on anyone doing that stupid stunt, and since you are giving your call, everyone knows who you are that are doing it..
