It is amazing, the number of self appointed police and
saviors that this hobby seems to bring out. We have
the:
1. DX pileup cops-always QRM the DX station by
sending/shouting UP UP non-stop.
2. The calling frequency police-won't let anyone use
the calling frequency, so it is an empty slice of band
in an otherwise occupied band
3. The DX window police-spend their life chasing
people out of the "dx window" but never take me up on
my offer when I ask them to show me in Part 97 that I
cannot operate there.
4. The reflector police-constantly throw tantrums
about how this or that thread is off topic, should be
closed, etc. Somehow they are the only ones who
bought keyboards missing the delete key.
