[RTTY] Rude contesters

[WW3S]

I'm beginning to think some of this behaivor is generated from the 
NOW.....or NEXT....type of operating you see more of now....we use it, but 
only when we get more than one call from a CQ or TU, not by someone calling 
on top of someone....some stations may not understand the "norm" for how 
that works...then again, I may be all wrong, and RTTY may be turning into a 
freefall, like SSB (hope not!!!).....we may have lost a doulbe mult because 
of it, the station never sent a TU and never worked another station after 
us, so I hope he logged us...packet generated Sunday afternoon pileups are 
getting as bad on RTTY as they are on SSB !!!!!!
