It was only a few KHz away, on Sunday afternoon at K8AZ, after I had been 
CQing for quite a while, that someone came on frequency, with a moderately 
loud signal sending CW at maybe 25 wpm, sending FUCK YOU ASSHOLES each time I 
stopped to listen.   

Of course the first rule is such cases is to ignore the jerk.  But after 4 or 
5 times, I finally went back with "To the cw station calling, I'm sorry, but 
I just upgraded from no-code tech and I can't copy what you're saying.  QRZ 
Contest from K8AZ".

That was the last I heard of him, although somewhat later I heard a similar 
cw guy sending "FAG" to someone else.

I guess there are benefits to slow-code HF privileges   :)
