[ADXA] YJ0FWA

Excellent point Rory!!!! 

40 meters is a much better example than 160 given the fact that most of
the world only has a 40 meter band from 7.0-7.2 MHz and the sub
segregation is much different from the US!

The DX finally moved up into the U.S. phone band and I worked them.  It surprised me at how many Hams didn't realize that they were out of band.
