Re: Working MM Stations
Martin Tuip
I have followed at least twice a AM station on SSB. He flies a cargo 757. Couldn't break the pileup though on that one.

I think most of us have worked one or more Maritime Mobile station(s) on PSK31. Are these QSOs any good for any awards with any club or DX group? Maybe when the 070 Club gurus are thinking of adding more awards, there could be one for working MM stations?
Just a thought.

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.

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.

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.

Just saying How does one find out if the "offending" party has a real radio and a real antenna and can actually hear before txing. I do believe some hams are disadvantaged with their set-up and may not hear in the same radius that they transmit. We sure don't want to criticize the poor bloke just eking it out.

Re: Strange band today
John Etling
I have to agree with Milt here – if one watches the waterfall, sees traces, monitors it for a few minutes to make sure that trace is not working a QSO – even if you do not hear the 2nd party, simply decoding/reading the decode will tell you the person is in QSO by the content of the text.
WITH that point made I also agree with Jerry, Cannot stand it when I am “holding the frequency” and I just complete a QSO with a DX station and someone pounces right on it to try and make contact with that DX station. Really??? People like that simply needs to be choked with their own coax….
I’m just saying…. also.

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 --

Re: Strange band today
Dan, You’ll not get any hate email from me. I’ve observed the same thing over and over again. I do the same thing as you. I watch the waterfall when I log on, and chasing LONP, the 1st thing I do is to click on traces to see what’s there. And, being a DX’r over 40 years, I then click on weak traces, just as I listen for weak fluttery cw signals. I’ve never had anyone come back and tell me that they were on a particular frequency after I called cq. I don’t send “QRL” or even ask if a frequency is in use. I use my eyeball. AND, I don’t tell other stations what to do, or how to operate or scold someone for not operating as I do. Just saying... Milt. N6MG 070-650

Jerry — I know everyone has been harping on this checking frequency bit but on the other hand if a station is listening on that frequency for a few minutes and hears nothing I don’t see what difference it would make whether he sends a QRL or not. 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!!
