Failing to listen prior to using a frequency constitutes willful interference.

When they fire up 6 or more transmitters each and everyday at various times without ever listening most people would draw the conclusion that they are trouncing on someone.

I can site two that were just recently. W1AW firing up on top of W1AW/X and another instance where the code practice wiped out a dx station and pileup. I have had a number of other people tell me that they have had to leave a frequency because W1AW fired up on top of them. Shall we post on QRZ, Eham and some other major websites and watch the replies come in?

You seem like a smart guy Mike. Why are you trying to cover for the ARRL and their bad behavior. The rules say to listen first and not use a frequency already in use. Period. How many times does the ARRL trounce on other users. I have not clue. I am not set up to listen on 6 bands from multiple locations across the map. There is an entity that can do this.

I would prefer to see the ARRL and board change their ways, fix the problems or the technology and act like good citizens on the bands. Instead they act like they own their published frequencies and use a rule that allows them to pay someone as an excuse to cause willful interference. If you want to go down the path of embarrassing the ARRL with FCC intervention, I am certain that there are plenty of people willing to help you to that goal.

The ARRL and W1AW have been willfully interfering with just users of spectrum 
for years.
That is something to be proud of. So much for courtesy. It is expected by the 
ARRL/W1AW
but never given.
The ARRL does not care about deliberate interference.  They do it on a daily 
basis with
the bulletins and code practice sessions...

Mike

Please cite specific examples of this deliberate interference - more than one, 
please,
since you have stated that this has been going on daily, for years.  Please 
include the parties
affected, the dates, times, frequencies, etc.  I'm not naïve - I'm sure 
someone, somewhere,
at some time has had a QSO interrupted by the regular bulletin transmissions.  But 
"deliberate"
implies intent.  Can you prove that that W1AW was intent on interrupting an 
ongoing QSO?

I still have no idea what W1AW bulletin transmissions have to do with RM-11708.
