[RTTY] Blacklisting over zealous callers

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

I was also copying last night when N8S lectured several stations and... as painful as it was watching him slowly type out his "Black List" message to the offender... I applauded his strategy.

Sure, a macro could be setup for the occasional need to control the uncontrollable. But I think the way it played out last night was very effective. Obviously many of us saw first hand the N8S operator(s) are not going to let the over zealous ruin it for all the others. I have listened to several lectures on SSB as well.

I have not participated in a DXpedition, so I'm not certain how much QRM abuse I could tolerate. At home I have the option to push back from the radio and go watch TV. I know some DX abruptly go QRT when things get out of hand too. I don't think that is a viable strategy on Swains Island.

You took the words right out of my mouth, all but the Nyquist part, of
course. :-)
