[CQ-Contest] Malicious Interference during SS

[Robert Brandon]

Or make a few "fake" QSOs like you can't hear the interference at all.
Complement the guys you're "working" -- "nice signal", "good luck, Bob",
etc.

Rich, I had this happen to me before on 20..the recorded CQ thing. I  
actually worked stations, and thanked the offender for giving me a break,
and  
letting him do the work for me, while I logged the points. He stopped right
then.
 
Best thing to do, if you have a 2nd rig, is keep on keeping on.  Use  the
2nd 
rig at that time to S&P, he will bet very bored.

I'm  curious how the malicious interference was this year.  I operated at  
K5NA this year.  I had a major problem around 14.281 this year.   I was 
sucked into a conversation with a station who would not use his call  
sign.  He told me that I was splattering so I adjusted my mic gain  and 
compression.  The ham thanked me and said it was fixed.   After a few q's 
he said I was splattering again, I figured out he was  playing games.  
Soon after he was transmitting recordings of my  cq's.  I was able to 
work through it for a while but my rate suffered  so I ended up moving.

In this particular case it was at the beginning  of the contest.  I had 
made a few qso's about starting 15 minutes  prior to the contest so I had 
established that the frequency was not  previously used and there were no 
frequency conflicts.

So how did  it go for every one else this year?  I guess in the future I 
need to  add 14.280 to the list of  frequencies to avoid.  The sstv  
window has been on my list for quite some time.
