Topband: Ticked over intentional interference on top band

[ZR]

Deliberate QRM and other bad behavior has been on 160 ever since it was 
opened to all frequencies, 1500W (and a lot more by some), and 160 included 
on every rig and amp.
There are very few who operate only 160M and the rest simply brought their 
higher bands behavior with them.

As an avid QRPer I find that QRM is a fact of life
almost never intentional, but frequently occuring.

Also a fact of life is that there are so many considerate
and patient operators willing to stand by and
to listen for and try to copy weak signals..

BTW,
VE1ZZ here in NH has an absolutely outstanding signal.

Unfortunately 160 is not immune to that kind of behavior. I have run into
it before (including from an A1 Op member). Some would argue they were
agressively pursuing a DX QSO. Most of us would classify the operation
as just plain QRM.
