Bigger/taller antenna's and louder amplifier's help solve this problem.

That’s a bit over the top don’t you think Jim? Here's my take.

1. It’s a contest. It's all about ME and MY score.
2. Perhaps I don't hear the DX or can't copy them because of flutter or just 
plain bad copy.
3. I just tuned across your signal and misunderstood where you were in the 
exchange process.
4. Perhaps you said QRZ and the DX needed a repeat.


And the list goes on and on as to why someone transmitted on top of your 
precious QSO.

Deal with it.

This is a hobby.

Three times this weekend, I had guys calling on top of the DX when I
was trying to hear if he confirmed my report.

PLEASE PLEASE let the QSO in progress F I N I S H before dumping your call in.

I used to think RTTY operators were polite.  Now they're just like the
rest of the a-holes out there.
