You mean this?  http://www.arrl.org/a-1-op


I sympathize to a point.  As long as it stays here on the series of
tubes that make up the interwebs, it just "is".  Services like Gmail
provide extremely flexible filtering that can ensure that you don't
hear from the culprits ... like a good notch filter circuit, really.
On the air, though, this kind of thing is really really bad.

Since the Old Man was complaining about Rotten QRM 90 years ago, it's
a safe bet that it's been going on since the first wireless
telegraphy.  Fessenden probably got QRMed by Marconi on his famous
xmas-eve 'phone-over-spark broadcast.  If you can't hear the other
station, you can't know he's there.  Period.

But if I know where the other modes are, *especially* the "silent"
ones, I'll do what I can to steer clear.
