I agree with Mark. If the other station was there first, then the newly-arrived
rare mult doesn't necessarily get priority use of the frequency. This happened
to me numerous times in CQWW Phone. I would have a run going, then a DX station
would open up 1.5 kHz away, then a bunch of east coast guys would start yelling
at me for QRMing the DX ! Sorry guys, if I was clearly there first, and if the
DX station isn't bothering me, and I am productively using the frequency, I'm
not moving.
