No more complaints, whining nor sniveling from me. I'll just send out notice to offending stations in U.S. ... Jerry N9AVY

We go over this, and over this and over this far too often. We have far too many new members that are reading these complaining, sniveling and whining posts and taking their que as to what the club’s all about from the pedantic rambling of a few on worn out used up post’s. It happens. Folks transmit on top of us. So what?? Is expounding on it here, in an open forum going to solve anything? Nope. You betcha it isn’t proper form to “snag” a frequency in use by someone else. No argument about that. It’s just that this crap gets old, old, old here on the 070 Club Yahoo reflector. In no form of my imagination is this what our Yahoo forum is intended to be. While I’m at it, I leave my promotion for the “Great movement of broadmindedness to anyone who can see my views”. J Milt.

Subject: Re: [070] Strange band today Dan: I was in QSO for over 10 minutes with a station when another jumped on my frequency just as I was about to call CQ again. He sure heard me ! If I would have been my old nasty self I would have made sure he heard me in no uncertain terms. It's just rude to snag another's frequency without even waiting a minute to make sure the freq was clear. This type of behavior is not acceptable with the band as dead as it was. There's plenty of room without jumping on someone's frequency. Reminds me of when I used to fish and as soon as you reel in everyone is tossing their line in the same spot I was in. If you ask me, this type of behavior is what causes people to behave like Todd. Jerry From: "Dan Morris dbmorris315@...

It might just be that he could not hear those two stations at all?? And if that is the case it really doesn’t make much difference. Bands condx are very up and down .. Heck, I’ve heard one way communications where I could not hear one station but could hear the other. Usually that is the case. I would think that before we all start jumping on this having manners crap just consider that that station may not have heard the other two. I’ve seen on this reflector where it seems the first thing that people do is state that that station has no manners. Not his fault if he can’t hear the other two stations!! Now, before I get hate mails, I do agree, polite thing is to send a QRL and check but there have been many times when I will set there and listen on a frequency and after a set amount of time if I don’t hear anything I will transmit. so far I have never interfered with another station (that I know of) — If I did then I could not hear them and evidently they could hear me. Then again there are those that just jump in on a frequency without listening or sending out a QRL and those are the ones that don’t have the manners or courtesy. The way your last sentence about Part 97, about checking a frequency then if I listen on a frequency for a couple of minutes or so and hear nothing then I have actually checked to see if that frequency is in use. Semantics I guess. Just saying --
