During CQWW, I heard MXZ and others running up and down the band, picking on
contesters, making fun of their signals, intentionally interfering, making
calls with fake callsigns, etc... and then reporting their conduct back to
the 1850 gang for a few more laughs. Sounded typical of their 75 meter
conduct on 3868. Oh well...
