Super weird things happened. Compulsive calling is spreading like a decease!
But not only that. There is now bullying calling.
In the middle of an unruly pile up some DK5 called in. I copied his full
call at once and came back to him with ENNA2.
There was this other DL8 also calling and he simply continued to call after
I came back to the DK5.
He was so strong I was not able to copy the exchange being sent by the DK5.
No ony that. The DL8 said I'm not DK5... I'm DL8.....
So no way out but to stop the pile and asked the DL8 why he was that LID!!
And he insisted I'm not DK5... And I said. I know you are not, I'm working
someone else and I'm not working you for sure, so please QSY.
Really bad operating manners were mostly shown by countries from certain
countries, but now, it's pandemic!
Just as in 2012. I had to wait long on big egos to ID (some of them
repeating their techniques from last year).
Anyways lots of fun as usual.
I wonder if the WWROF will take a more proactive approach on all these
topics.
Best 73.
