YES! The worst offenders were calling while the DX was obviously working 
someone else. I was hearing a bunch of EU and Caribbean DX stations loud on 
160, but couldn't get through the continuous wall of east coast and midwest 
stations calling them (I'm talking HOURS). This isn't limited to contests 
either. I'm sorry, but this stuff about 160M being "the gentlemen's band" is 
a bunch of hooey.
