Hi Denny: I agree we should ignore the DX cops if they appear on the DX freq.
But we CAN stop (most of) them by taking away the reason they exist. Most are not trying to jam the DX station. They exist because a lot of hams are calling the DX station on his trasmit freq. If the DX OP says where he/she is listening, the problem (and the DX cops) goes away. Well, most of them.
