[RTTY] Hardest RTTY Station to Work - EVER

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Yup, that can be a problem. Bully operators. I haven't experienced that 
myself (just how many KØ's are going to generate a huge pile up?), but I 
did listen to a SSB pile up a while back. There was an insistent caller, 
like  you mentioned, and the DX finally acknowledged him. But he told 
him something to the effect "You sir, your call sign is no where close 
to what I was asking for. You are NOT in my log today. Try again 
tomorrow." To which the bully station went away. I really enjoyed 
listening to that exchange, and I wish I could remember which DX station 
did that! I don't.
