Hi,
I am not and will never be a BIG player on 160...my antenna farm is more
like a flower pot! I can hear much better than I can transmit..the
opposite of an "alligator". So I listen a lot more than send..even if
that isn't my intent ;)
I think I heard what the original poster was talking about. I was trying
to get the DX callsign after his initial transmission but that machine
gun caller just plain wiped him out. My own take was "that guy isn't
very bright. How is he ever going to work the DX if he doesn't stop some
day to listen?" I moved on down the band but didn't turn my radio off.
Once upon a time I had about my second or third QSO as a novice in the
40 meter novice band late at night - with two watts of blazing QRP. I
had found a tiny hole between SW broadcast stations. I chatted slowly
with the other station for about twenty minutes or so. The instant that
we both signed somebody else jumped right in with a CQ and there was a
pileup on him! The point is..all those hams waited until the slow, low
power station finished. I think there are still many more hams like that
than the impatient pigs (no point coddling them). That's why the rude,
crude hogs stand out so much. Most of the QRM I hear doesn't seem to be
intentional QRM to me. The incident that I heard was intentional QRM or
some ham who shouldn't have been bright enough to pass the easiest of
exams. There isn't a lot we can do about that. Just try to avoid
stepping in that and getting it all over your shoes.
