I hesitate to do this. In the most recent CQWW SSB contest, I had the same
station plop down without asking and start calling CQ on my run frequency three
times in the same afternoon. (No, I wasn't operating SO2R and leaving the
frequency). The third time I went ballistic and yelled at him until he left.
Now this was a multi-op, and there's a reasonably good chance that the
owner/operator of this station had no idea "Mr. Anonymous" was acting like such
a jerk. Hopefully he gets some idea and chooses his team better next time
around. I not sure calling him out publicly would be a better way to handle
this.

It seems to me that the "don't name names" syndrome is fairly widespread in ham
radio, though perhaps a little less so than in prior years. I've always been
inclined to identify this as "Don Miller syndrome," dating to the time when
ARRL was sued for disallowing some of his phonier DXpeditions. It's time to
stop being gun-shy, folks - we now have at least some of the evidence, in the
form of I/Q recordings of entire contests, so there's no reason not to bring
public opinion to bear. I'm not specifically talking about operating practices
here, but about at least the more egregious of rule violations. If you know
about it, call 'em on it, publicly!73, Pete N4ZRCheck out the Reverse Beacon
