I suspect it's because someone thought you were QRMing TJ2TT; He was pretty 
much QSA0 for me. Local QRN/QRM has made 160 very tough for me; I could barely 
hear Roger and he is usually fairly easy copy.

Roger,

I was QRV for awhile, but seem to have attracted someone who hated my guts. I 
was QRMed while trying to work stations. they put a carrier on top of the 
stations I tried to work. They QRMed the dx station and were sending false 
signal reports in hopes of confusing me.   Then they came on and sent me 
disparaging remarks and called me a "bone head".  I went QRT. I know I am not a 
great operator, and make mistakes, but who needs that when you are trying to 
relax and have some innocent fun?   I am starting to sour on the Gentlemen's 
band moniker. It was quite upsetting.

We had a fair amount of lightning static here, but conditions seemed pretty 
fair otherwise.  You peaked up pretty loud at times.  I could barely detect 
4K6FO last night. He was good copy the night before.  I did not hear any SA 
stations and I think they were QRV. Each nite is different!
