Unless, of course, you consider a good frequency fight to be an art
form in it's own right... I have never been run off a frequency in a
contest... I have moved off when there was propagation change and an
existing conversation became audible... I have moved when asked,
politely, by a scheduled net... But, I have never been run off by
someone who claims he owns the frequency... And even Riley is bound by
the rules...

You're one of the few guys who can claim that. Most of the big guns I know
will fight for a while. But even guys liike myself, who have mega-stacks, know
when it is better to turn the knob and find a new run frequency.
Being in a contest is kinda like being in a bikers' bar. That stool my be
yours, but if you are only 5' 9" tall and some big 6' 6" SOB wants it, it
sometimes is better to take a different one. If you start to get that macho
attitude and it clouds clear thinking about maximizing the score. Macho
doesn't win
contests.
