Hi Eric,
yes I confirm , the same station did it to me a couple of times. Calls me 10 
times in a row and then starts calling cq on my frequency.  In time I came to 
understand when to put my foot down and fight for my frequency and when to give 
it up and just move up or down just a bit. I must say that in this particular 
case I found the issue : HOPELESS. Did not fight and moved up. Same as in 
everyday's life: you have all kinds out there, why would it be different on 
radio? 
Had a rough time on the low bands due to excessive local noise and could not 
hook up with you Eric. Will make it up in RU I hope.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2009 all!!
