Jim, I know somebody that is capable of doing that. Many times it works to be
a nuisance. It seems to be one tactic in the arsenal of DX weapons. I try not
to use that one. Lou W1QJ

I don't want to start another "run" here but I was a bit disturbed last night
after deciding to try for a new one, K5P. Guys all over the DX transmitting
freq and one who must have fallen asleep with his finger on the send button.
He must have sent his call sign for over a minute. I sent my call a couple of
times but any possible return would have been covered by callers. So much for
that. I don't get on as much lately with a shaky fist etc. and spend most time
working on improvements but I can recall not to long ago that when a dx station
was on 160 everyone would shut up when he picked a call. One of the reasons I
liked the "Gentleman's Band". Seems to be a lot more people getting on 160 now

listen to 75M as a kid? Have you listened recently? 30 minutes in either error
should correct that false impression. :) _______
