This is the way I thought it supposed to work. Actually early in the contest
the DX window had little problem with stateside CQers. I worked some
Europeans and other stations.
On this side of North America, Europe is easier but if the window is plugged
up with strong CQers it sure makes it tough for everyone else. It does not
help the prestige of those plugging up the window either.

The only way I can see an "intercontinental only" rule working would be to
say something along the lines of "Only stations outside North America
should CQ in the DX WIndow, and North American stations should transmit in
that window only when calling and working those DX stations."
