This is not unique to the 160 contest but happens mostly in a CW contest.
Operators who start calling CQ right on top of another station and just keep
calling, hoping you will go away. You know the guy, "my gun's louder than your
gun", total idiots. I hope that you multi-op stations know who and what
operating geniuses are at the helm using your callsign and blasting away
without regard to their fellow amateurs. There is one "N3" station in
particular that does this repeatedly, this year in several CW contests, he just
moves around and starts calling anywhere, thinking "what the heck, why should I
have to find a clear frequency, I'll just make one". Total idiots. My Elmer
back in the 60's told me stories of "pinning" the coax of amateurs that thought
they were hot stuff. A couple of times this year I would have used a hatchet
instead of a "pin". Hope these guys grow up someday.
