[Elecraft] Legal Limit With FT8

[Bob McGraw]

One very effective solution is to configure WSJT-X to receive when he is 
receiving and transmit when he is transmitting.  Thus you would never 
know he exists.

I agree, abuse of power is not a good thing.  It is more a case where 
hams have more money than good operating skills.

When he's on the air, he blots out my K3S so his is the only signal on the waterfall, the only signal the decoder sees. When his BIG POWER is on the air, I can't be. And he's made it clear that he doesn't care what he does to anyone else's enjoyment. Power for power's sake is contagious.
