Hi Art: Thanks for sharing your opinion.
But I think you missed my point. I'm not talking about whose responsibility it is to listen. I agree that listening is very important part of DXing. I'm simply saying that if the DX OP says where he/she is listening, the KC cops don't get on the DX freq and cause a lot of QRM. It might seem clever to not tell people where you're listening, but it really causes a mess on the DX freq.
