??? Why? Because US stations can only use 9,5W? So they think you cannot DX with 9,5W only? We hear/see New Zealand stations on 60m every day. And they are on the other side of the world from here. They use only 15W like most stations are allowed to use in most countries were 60m is allowed. The difference between 9,5W and 15W is almost not detectable.
Really, 5371,5 KHz is outside international regulation frequencies in most countries. Why would a DXpedition bother to work split just for the US? 9,5W is enough to still make DX, although you need some good propagation. Well, I wish my American 60m DX friends good luck!
I've made many DX contacts on 60m with just 15W FT8 like I'm allowed to. I have also used far less power and still make contacts on 60m CW and FT8. So I encourage my US amateurradio friends to just try with the allowed power output.
