[UK-CONTEST] UK-Contest Digest, Vol 37, Issue 41

It seems to me that this is where AROS should be involved.
 
There was a case a couple of years ago whenever a dxer came on cw to work  dx 
someone else came on and qrmed him very close to his frequency etc. I believe 
 the case was successfully resolved due to the efforts of AROS and their  
observers. It did not have to be taken to the licensing authorities but if the  
chap concerned hadn't heeded the warning the case would have gone to  OFCOM.
Perhaps this chap has started again? Peer pressure is very powerful. How  
about a bit of naming and shaming? But on second thoughts softly softly catchee  
monkey!

Hi  Jonathan,
I really like the football analogy.
The bad behaviour being  discussed is not restricted to contests. Try 
listening to 3790 - 3799 when any  DX shows up (especially something that isn't DX to 
Europe) or 14195 any day of  the week. The fact that every DX-pedition is 
QRMed on 40m CW indicates that  the culprits are experienced hams. They know CW, 
understand 'split' (which is  more than some of the callers) and they're loud. 
So we're not talking about a  bunch of CB'ers - these guys must be well 
known. The  QRM-er I had to endure in AFS actually identified himself to me. What 
can I do  about it? Not a lot. I e-mailed him and got even more abuse in  
return!
