This is my opinion also. The prestige of 160 comes from its degree of
difficulty. Poor propagation, Jammers, QRM, QRN, and bad locations are
all part of what makes it difficult. We then work to over come and make the
contact with technology and operating practices as best we can.

There will always be "jammers", "cops", "tuner-uppers", and those that
call a lot but listen little.... the only meaningful thing I can do about
it is to minimize my own mistakes.
Every serious DXer I know says ignoring them is the best policy.
DXing in general (and breaking pileups in particular) is a challenge and
these guys are part of it. Making the contact IN SPITE OF THEM just makes
it that much sweeter.
