What I hear lately are those who send QRL (Not QRL?) a couple of times
and then call CQ. It drives me bonkers.

Most of the people on this earth are below average.

The "Gentleman's Band" has been dead a long time, Eddy. It's now inhabited by
the same
type of operators that infest all the other bands.
As for QRL? It's often used by lids on the DX's frequency to cause QRM and
provoke a
response. A version of sending someone's call on the DX transmitting frequency
thus
provoking a slew of ups, lid, a**hole, etc.
Best just to ignore it and get on with your life.
73, Roger
