Shortly after RTTY RU started, I got on 28.122 and called CQ to see

to me from a station that refused to identify his call.

Don't sweat it. There are so many "special reserved" frequencies these
days that it a wonder we can operate in any mode.
Nets, special mode freq's, ragchewers, all combine into one big mess.
If every special splinter group or mode was give the spectrum they
demand, there would not be any clear frequencies left!
Doesn't stop the demands though, and the "demanders" usually don't
identify themselves, preferring to snipe anonymously from the safety
of their own man cave.
If they don't ID, they don't exist. That's my motto!
Well it is usually common courtesy to listen before transmitting. It is
also a good idea to avoid frequencies that are known for specific
specialised use.
However once you listen and don't hear anyone, then transmit, you
sometimes have some come back to you declaring that the frequency is in
use. You are then perfectly in your rights to reply, ' Yes, I know the
frequency is in use, I am using it!'
