[RTTY] Blacklisting over zealous callers

[Mike K9MI]

What it does do is everyone thinks they have to work the rare dx on 3 modes, 
on 6 bands unless you count the WARC bands also. One way of looking at it 
suggests that more different people would have a chance at working the rare 
dx station. On the other hand, you have guys who have spared no expense and 
went to a lot of work to put huge stations on every band. And with 5BDXCC, 
they have a good reason to do so.
