[AMRadio] CQ sweepstakes, CQ sweepstakes

[Jim Wilhite]

I don't know Brett.  They must have very tight filters if they zero beat 
a contact in progress and call CQ.  Those are the ones that give the 
nice guys a bad name.  If they want to have fun that is fine, but when 
they become a irritant on purpose that is too much.

And they did that tonight.
