Very simple answer, Jim. The FCC has limited personnel today. The
few they
have simply don't have the time to sit around listening, as code
users pound out their incredibly slow conversations, to catch
violations.

For reasons that I disagreed with then and I disagree with now,
(but that's another story) the FCC' s enforcement response is
driven by complaints, not by "Patrolling the Ether" (tm) as in
days of yore.

How many complaints of amateur CW violations do you think "Riley"
gets? (Somebody pounding out "FU" in Morse on a Touch-Tone (tm)
pad on a repeater input does not count as CW....)

So what do we call it then? I have certainly heard F-U-C-K sent in
Morse on a repeater.

Anything from an unidentified transmission to interference to jamming
for starters depending on the exact events. It probably violates a
number of FCC rules.

The point is that Phil is trying to say that jamming in MCW doesn't count
as jamming in CW, which is like trying to say that there's a vital
difference between using FM or SSB to jam.
