I'm rarely surprised when an amateur behaving badly turns out to be a
20WPM Tested Extra.

This is the same type of stereotyping as saying that no-code Techs are CB
hams. This stereotyping has no validity. Just as an FYI, one of the worst
jammers on the west coast was a Technician.

One of the greatest gobblers of call signs on the west coast
is very definitely a long-time (therefore 20 WPM tested) extra,
Roy Tucker, N6TK. Up to 1 Jan 2001 he had no less than
FORTY-ONE callsigns! He still has NINETEEN of them, all
at the same Whiterock Drive, La Mirada, CA location.

Search for the history of the "W6NUT" repeater, always on
147.435 MHz. It has since gone through two ownership
changes but Tucker is on that repeater regularly. You can
also find it on the ARRL letter and the regular ham
disobediance notices there. :-)

You could begin at www.435.org for a start.

Mikey D, take note, there's still hope for you gobbling
up more than 19 calls and be "on top." :-)

These behaviours have nothing to do with one's license class and everything
to do with the individual's already existing personality.

Yes, we've all seen that with Heil, Miccolis, Kelly, and,
once in a while, Flint. Note the slip in your first
paragraph of denigrating Technician class as "worst jammer."
Not to mention pointing out "west coast." Tsk, tsk.

"Six land" (meaning primarily California) already has an
over-abundance of amateur radio licensees. I doubt that
you care very much about that since few non-residents want
to gobble up calls from YOUR call area.

Oh, and is "behaviour" anything similar to "endeavour?"
Does it have a "colour?" A "flavour?" :-)
