I agree with Dave. It's possible they are attending some other band,
however, they may also have tuning or AFC problems. MMTTY (for example)
will fail to decode because you are not tuned properly to the sender (wtih
AFC off) or if the AFC is pulled by another signal to one side. Both of
those can make you pull your hair out as you grumble trying to figure out
which button you have not pushed or whatever.

You can tell if they are so2r by writing down the call signs, and
checking 3830 tomorrow to see if they enter the expert category.
There's no faking it because of the BARTG band-change limit for
non-experts.
I have seen a lot of cases where even an so1r operator just does
not respond. They may have terrific local QRN, or have a decode
setting wrong, or perhaps their decode mark/space frequency has
been pulled off nominal.

Jeff WK6I,
You may be right but to me it seemed like he may have been busy
on another band and just had the timer set to continue calling CQ
on the other band. Nobody can be that deaf for that long.

hi Dick - Just wanting to understand... not responding to anyone sounds
more like they may have a receiver problem? I don't see the connection to
SO2R. - jeff wk6i

I will not give the call signs but there are some RTTY operators that seem
to lack the skills to run SO2R. It is very easy to spot them as they keep
calling CQ over and over again and don't seem to ever listen for the
stations. All they do is create confusion when several are responding to
their CQ and they do not respond to anyone. I used the think telephone
call waiting was rude but poor SO2R operators as just as bad.
