Gee, maybe this clown was the high bidder at one of the FCC's silly
frequency auctions and now he actually DOES OWN 14.268!   :-)

I don't think the net is OK anymore at 14.267.  The guy on 14.268 is almost
also there
and at least for me is always s9+20db on the side of my beam.  I have sent
him
an email and asked him to move during the net.  The only thing he ever has
said
to me is "go to hell".  I think we need to find a better spot on 20 meters.
This guy
even lists 14.268 as his frequency on his profile on qrz.com.  Since he has
started
using this frequency, he has certainly ruined the net for me.
