[CQ-Contest] SS Intentional QRM

[Barry]

It's not only contests.  I've pretty much given up DXing on 160 
because of all the idiots that call and call without listening (and 
many without hearing), giving a chance for the DX to answer and be 
heard.  Also, in any pileup, the DX asks for a specific call fragment 
(eg, W2U?), and everyone keeps calling anyway, slowing the rate from 
what could be 3-4/min to 1 QSO per 2-3 minutes.  It's a shame...
