Well, at one point on 30m RTTY last night, this is what he typed out:

IK1MNY YOU ARE IN BLACK LIST...I CALL SV AND YOU TRANSMIT OVER HIM  
PSE QRX QRX DE N8S

It was such a classic, I saved it.  He had similarly lectured a DL6  
earlier.

Something like that is hard to prepare a macro for, but I guess it is  
possible by entering the offending call sign and then preparing a  
"blacklisting macro," HI HI.

I empathize with him; people who consistently transmit over others  
when they are not being called are the real problem elements.  Even  
new ops can work proficiently with a mode like RTTY if the pile would  
just behave like civilized human beings.
