• I accidentally landed on 275 the other day…. I heard someone talking. Then nothing for around 20 minutes. Then I heard a Latino gentleman call CQ…. I replied and we QSO'ed for a bit…. Then in the middle of the guy's third QSO, I heard some jerk start to call CQ over him. Didn't ask if the frequency was clear or anything. When asked why he didn't follow gentleman's rules of conduct, he uttered a filthy word, made a snide comment about the guys nationality and told him that with a radio as bad as his he didn't deserve to be a ham. I broke in stated my call sign and tried to defend the guy. I know I shouldn't have but it was painful to listen to. The Latino ham moved up to 277.5 and KZ8O moved over to 277.5 and started in again Walking on the guy. [Listen to the clips!]

• This would have been a great contest if the bands would have been in a bit better shape, and the FCC would do something about KZ8O (ex ND8V) who I found going up and down the band around 14.275 running off anyone trying to operate near "his" frequency. I felt sorry for the N7 station that was on 14.278 into a good run only to have KZ8O start calling him a "scumbag" for about 5 minutes until the N7 station had to move.

• To say there was a bit of bias involved is like saying KZ8O just needs a couple of days at finishing school.

BTW, I’ve heard the term “Rag CQ’ing” as an acronym to describe someone who is constantly calling CQ just to cause interference. I have just run across someone who is using “Rag Calling” to do the same. Calling the same station over and over and over [KI4LUB and/or N8JOX who his neighbour!], just to cause interference to some Hispanic stations next door [14.277] to “his” frequency [14.275]. And again, it's being done by a ham that Riley has let off the hook dozens of times [KZ8O/nd8v].

There are quite a few folks that continue to get away with repeated violations, while smaller offenders are treated like terrorists. It's the weirdest enforcement I've ever seen anywhere....

I no longer wonder how 8O got an amateur license. Now I wonder how he got a CB license. He is perhaps the worst amateur in the history of amateur radio.

Hopefully he can nail the obscene and un-amateur like hams on 14.275. Such as W4NTI, KZ8O, and company.
