Concur with Roger, N1RJ. Saturday morning a zero a few hundred miles
away in Colorado started CQing less than 250 Hz above my run QRG.
I use a K3 and this is normally no problem but his sig had severe
clicks. I told him he had bad clicks and asked him to go from full
to semi-breakin. I've found this move to be a 99% cure. He refused.
Shortly I had to give up and find a new run QRG as he was taking out
all but the stronger callers. On the way out I informed he should be
ashamed transmitting such a garbage signal. He replied to the effect
if you don't like it report me.
Ops with this attitude who don't respect their neighbors nor have any
pride in their signal shall prevail until the sponsors act. Offenders
operate with impunity, maintain a clear run QRG and have higher
scores as a result.
Solution is simple, one yellow carding or delisting to check log and
these guys would have a clean signal in the next contest guaranteed.
But that is up to the sponsors. I'm not holding my breath.
Pres, N6ss
