Wolf, I am making QRSS calls around 137.670kHz (30kHz low of the 'recommended centre of activity') to avoid the DCF39 QRM. Is there a better part of the band at your end? Should we be discussing a quieter QRSS sub-band nearer 137.0kHz? Does the QRM affect your reception of USA DX? Do we need a new DX sub- band?
