this should be subject: too close to to qsos in progress....
I would try to get farther than 2.5 kc way from someone..
The average Joes radio have pretty poor 2.4 - 2.8khz ssb filters..
The grouch/call freq cop on 125 will be rxing all the way up to at
least 127.8, not to mention his radio is probably suffering some
compression from the signals on the open band already.... making any qrm
worse to him...
If there are people on 125 and 130 all s9+ I would imagine,
normally you in the middle.. would be qrming the both of them...
Should he be going totally off the handle at you.. to the point of
being harassing, especially on the air.. No.. he should not....
just my 2 cents worth...
