No Tim, you were the one being interfered with by W1AW - you were on
the frequency when they started operating.  That you chose to QSY and
not engage in a frequency fight was the gentlemanly thing to do in
spite of the intentional interference from W1AW.

Nobody owns any frequency and, absent an emergency that presents an
imminent threat to life, nobody has the right to commandeer any
frequency that is "in use".
