[RTTY] Intentional QRM on 7O6T 17M

[Al Kozakiewicz]

Just worked 7O6T on 17m - 3 calls.  I was definitely lucky in my frequency selection, but would have missed the QSO except that I happen to catch my call on the dx reply during breaks in UP UP UP bullshit.  Everyone should use DXlab - it even sets your split tx frequency for you!

Which is really worse: stations that (usually) make the honest mistake of forgetting to press split but only transmit while the dx station is listening, or the DX cop morons that call while the DX station is transmitting?  On SSB they don't even seem to spend any time trying to work the DX.  They spend time chatting amongst themselves  on the DX frequency trading what they think are snarky comments.

I got them on all 3 modes with 4 QSO's on 2 bands - 20 and 17.  I'm perfectly happy with that!

I also witnessed the NA NA NA plus the song and bs crap, etc.  Disgusting.

Here in Central VA the offender was strong on my dipole.  I am curious if any others who heard this crap were able to determine a general direction with a directional antenna.

The QYF suggestion is not the answer.  It worked poorly for the Bouvet operation and other operations where it was used.  I remember the experience vividly.

The real answer is to nail the sucker, but that may be difficult unless we can identify a general area where the signal came from, and, then, we will have to get lucky to find the person.  I suspect a repeat offender that will show up often.

Good luck to those still needing 7O on rtty.  I am sure the ops are overwhelmed by the numbers from EU with better prop.
