Its to the point where the last few days even operating CW on 40
has
been a waste. Twice tonight 20+ minutes into two different
QSO's had

RTTY coming right on top..... Guess they couldn't hear that the
freq

was already in use (ya right!)

In the "Olde Days" a person operating ANY Amateur mode on
that
frequeny would have been proficient in Morse Code to at least
13WPM,
the speed at which one reaches true "literacy" in Morse. (Able
to
understand what was being sent without having to write down
everything
to get it)

Incursions like this will continue, expecially with the
spectre of
a true no code Amateur license looming close.

Exactly...not to mention the fact that IMHO most of the RTTY
contesters
just
don't give a damn who they clobber.

Tonight is the CW Sprint. 40 will be a total wipe out. However I
will
have
my RTTY program loaded. And the tape running. One way or another
they
will
know who they stepped on.

heh heh. Yeppers. That'll learn 'em. Of course, nothing more would
be
expected from ya there, Dan.
