KX9ZZ 160m score

[k9pg]

Tried the new contest call for the first time, seemed to cause some
a few people to get confused, but worked well for the most part.  Only 
operated about 6 hours.

Had a few people try to take my freq while I commandeered 1800.7 on 
Sat night,  one inparticular that stands out is an N8...   he was on 
1801.1 for a while, then decides to move down to 1800.8 (probably because
of QRM) and pretended he didn't hear me, then moves to 1800.5 and 
pretended he didn't hear me again...  first right above me, then below me...
this happened 2 times also!    There is also one particular W5 who always
seems to show up on freq calling CQ without bothering to see if it's in 
use...  either he never hears me (which is not the case) or he has got 
a bad set of ears.  This W5 did the same thing to at least 3 others 
that I heard while I was tuning.  I hate it when ops of super stations 
try to steal the freq of a casual operator, or of anyone for that matter!

Operated from the station of K9QVB which consists of a KT34, 40m rotary
dipole and inverted Vs for 80 and 160 at about 60 ft.
Rig was an old Collins KWM-380, great radio!
