A couple of observations;

The DQRM with EP6T was by far the worst I have ever heard. My guess 
is a lot of it was because of angry people who did not like Iran as 
the DX location. If that is correct, I suspect the next P5 operation 
will be as bad if this isn't corrected somewhat.

I am always surprised at the amount of geographic DQRM as in EU vs NA 
crying when the other is being called, on the air bickering is 
stupidity incarnate. Nobody wins and it only serves as a damper to 
fun and camaraderie. Zero winners possible with this one. I 
personally think the JA's are the best behaved group out there at 
this time.

K1N was QRX and some of the QRMers started chatting amongst 
themselves on the Tx freq & one said something almost verbatim: "OK, 
everybody, key down at the same time". There came a few bits of DQRM 
but nothing like a group venture. Still, that is the impetus for much 
of the DQRM, if others like him had been listening, they would have 
joined in just because of the gang mentality. Feeding off each other 
is what they do.

I don't think these guys are much part of a group that knows each 
other, they just work together as individuals with a common goal to 
cause dismay and anger. If some of them are knocked out by the FCC it 
will help tremendously but it won't be the gang that passes the 
message of being caught to fellow members, that warning will have to 
come from hams in forums and on the air making those court judgments 
known & who was judged guilty and why. I doubt these misanthropes 
read the actions of the FCC & the courts court in magazines or on 
line, I personally doubt they are well read.

more of my 2 cents,

73,

Gary  KA1J
