I had a similar experience in SS where a well known Zero Land Multiop had
left a frequency I believe on 40m for quite a while. We were working on
another band at the time then decided to switch. This frequency had been
"clear" for a couple of minutes prior to our use. After a few contacts.
This stations fires back up right on top of us. They pretended not to hear
us. Funny thing is we kept working folks and they didn't and finally left.
We found it very tough to call CQ's on separate bands and keep the frequency
of the band that was not calling CQ, let alone when a station called.
You leave the freq for a just a while and don't respond to is this freq in
use then too bad.
Firing back up on top of another station is not better than our AD5 friend
informing us about the dx window. They are both intentional interference.

Funny, I had the same experience on 1823, probably with the same top-scoring
IL station. Since I wasn't putting in a serious effort, and he was, I took
the attitude "this will hurt you more than it will hurt me". After 10
minutes, he moved.
