A rather unfortunate incident occurred just a couple of hours before
the end of the contest.
I had found a frequency on 15m that seemed relatively clear. I asked
"Is this frequency in use?" Twice. No answer. I then started calling
CQ. After about a minute, a station calls in, clearly a backscatter
signal, and asks - "What's your call?" I answer with my call and after
a couple of tries we make the exchange. (It is backscatter, and so a
little difficult)
However, after he confirms the contact, he starts calling CQ! I tried
several times to call him, but he ignores me and continues to call CQ.
The station was NJ4U.
Now, I've had my frequency stolen before -- but never by anyone in my
own contest club!
That's just plain rude and poor operating. Certainly not in the spirit
that founded this club.
