For years he has been carrying on with his unethical operating procedures and violating just about every rule as regards causing INTENTIONAL and harmful interference. As I am one who prefers to ignore controversy, I have tried to ask his friends to have a gentle word with him. However, nothing has worked.

This Canadian station came right on the freq and started to hurl abuses at us. He then stated that the only way he will deal with the "likes" of us was by taking over the freq and that we left him no other choise! None of us could believe what happened next. Irrespective of the fact that there was a QSO going on on that freq, he started to call CQ on 14.200, where an ongoing QSO was on and proceed to work a Florida station. What beats me is that he announced with pride that he was teaching us a lesson! I run 75 watts to a wire vertical, 6Y5IC a faulty 940S (50w) into a dipole and the Maritime Mobile a 706! What can we little pistols do over a guy running a 5 element monobander and an Alpha amp?! What if the maritime Mobile was in some kind of distress?

He is a disgrace to ham radio and what we all like to safeguard as a gentleman's hobby. Isn't there anything anyone can do to stop people like this bullying innocent users of the band? Does Canada prefer to turn a blind eye? Aren't there Canadian hams listening to this nonsense day in day out? As far as I see it, this man taints the good image of Canadian hams -- many of who are my dear friends. Isn't there an authority people can complain to and request them to monitor this guy? OR are we completely at his mercy?

I may be viewed as someomne letting off steam, but am left wondering if this is what has become of ham radio today? I have heard of fights over a freq, but what happened this morning is something I have NEVER heard in my life and wish never to hear again.
