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.
