[RTTY] FT5ZM RTTY is a zoo

[Jeff AC0C]

I saw the same thing on the "gentlemen's band" 160m with FT5.

I would normally suspect that it's the casual op who's poking into a mode or 
band he's not accustomed to working.  But there is no excuse at all for guys 
intentionally throwing out the persistent streams of dits, carriers or 
sending trash talk on top of the DX.  Really pathetic.

Any further reference to RTTY operators being "more professional" or better
ops needs to be discontinued.  It's terrible to hear callsigns that should
know better calling on the CQ frequency, stations jamming the DX's TX
frequency, and the constant cat calls from the cops about lids and up.



The largest fault of today's society, "me first" and a complete lack of
common courtesy, has fully gripped ham operators as well.  "I can't work
them, and I've been singled out because I called on the CQ frequency, so I'm
going to jam it and make cat calls" is absolutely atrocious.
