Topband: FT8 qrm

[Wes Stewart]

So what's the protocol when a CW man checks a frequency, hears nothing, sends a 
couple of QRL? and hears nothing and begins to run stations.  Then sometime 
later a guy running an imaginary mode...oops...sorry, FT8 shows up and wants to 
park on the CW man's frequency?  Who is to blame?  I'll answer my own question: 
the FT8 guy who is QRMing an occupied frequency.

Besides the FT8 guys can always resort to JTAlert to QSO via text messaging as 
one west African station apparently tried to do with me.
