[CQ-Contest] Oh please, dont tackle me

[brian coyne]

The case for common sense and behavior which we should all strive for could not have been better stated Bob.

I suspect that Charlie is bored and trying to wind us up.

-- Charly, HS0ZCWGuy running "his" frequency calls out, Move off MY freq.

It is a CONTEST, and if I can use a good spot on the band and you happen to
be there also, one of us is just going to get tackled. That is the nature
of playing contests.
Actually, NO, it isn’t!  The behavior that you describe in a radio contest is the behavior of a lid or bully trying to rationalize that their unsportsmanlike behavior is “ok”.No contest operator that I respect or admire behaves that way intentionally.  Rather, good ops they work on improving their operating
skills, one of which is how to find a freq. without interfering with other ops or bullying them off a frequency already in use.  

Comparing a radio contest to American Football, a sport where violent contact is fully expected subject to RULES, is inaccurate 
and just plain silly.
