wrote: There's always been "monkey business" here and there in the "CW bands". The notion held by some that the CW bands are some sort of pristine Radio Nirvana where there are no sinners is complete nonsense and/or wishful thinking. Go all the way back to the 1950s around 3.505 and thereabouts on cold midnites when one could almost hear all the guys listening for some DX to pop up. Got tiresome but we hung in. On any number of occasions some bush-league miscreant would get tired of listening to the noise floor and just for the hell of it would decide to generate a pileup. I dunno how many times I worked "6L6GB". "QSL via the buro". Yeah, right. The W9 buro. Even Jack VE1ZZ the Lord High Commissioner of 80M dxing couldn't resist jumping into those frays if they were really good ones. w3rv Welp, there you have it. |
