Topband: Outing The Scofflaws...

[W2PM]

With all the explanations and angst over this type of behavior truly it comes down simply  to pure unabashed idiocy by our "comrades". I'd just like to sit next to one of these guys while they r doing it and ask why? Are they serious about trying to make a contact calling out of turn, calling when they can't hear the DX, etc.  it seems to me they may trouble powering up the rig.

For the past two nights while listening to PT0S and listening for the frequency of the station he is working, I always hear the same station at that frequency sending non-stop on top of the station the DX is trying to work.  This guy is on the #1 honor role, and he isn't the only one that does this.  I guess he figures if he makes himself enough of a pest, that the DX station will work him just to get him out of the way.

Since VE3 is about 2,000 miles closer to PT0S than I am, and because he was calling over, and over, and over, I'd say it's likely that he would have been copying PT0S at least as well as I was, and I had no trouble telling that PT0S was calling NN6L.
