Topband: Wednesday 160m DX Activity Night

[David Olean]

Roger,

I was QRV for awhile, but seem to have attracted someone who hated my 
guts. I was QRMed while trying to work stations. they put a carrier on 
top of the stations I tried to work. They QRMed the dx station and were 
sending false signal reports in hopes of confusing me.   Then they came 
on and sent me disparaging remarks and called me a "bone head".  I went 
QRT. I know I am not a great operator, and make mistakes, but who needs 
that when you are trying to relax and have some innocent fun?   I am 
starting to sour on the Gentlemen's band moniker. It was quite upsetting.

We had a fair amount of lightning static here, but conditions seemed 
pretty fair otherwise.  You peaked up pretty loud at times.  I could 
barely detect 4K6FO last night. He was good copy the night before.  I 
did not hear any SA stations and I think they were QRV. Each nite is 
different!
