Well, at one point on 30m RTTY last night, this is what he typed out:
IK1MNY YOU ARE IN BLACK LIST...I CALL SV AND YOU TRANSMIT OVER HIM
PSE QRX QRX DE N8S
It was such a classic, I saved it. He had similarly lectured a DL6
earlier.
Something like that is hard to prepare a macro for, but I guess it is
possible by entering the offending call sign and then preparing a
"blacklisting macro," HI HI.
I empathize with him; people who consistently transmit over others
when they are not being called are the real problem elements. Even
new ops can work proficiently with a mode like RTTY if the pile would
just behave like civilized human beings.
