[ILQSO] Fwd: JAMBOREE-ON-THE-AIR

[MT]

I heard this exchange Danny.  He just wanted to "inform" you that a 
net was going to happen there.

I had this same issue with the guys on 7268.  If you are within 5 KHz 
of them, they freak out.  They call themselves the 68 Group and one 
of them QRM'd me for 30 minutes during sweeps a few years ago.  Then, 
the guy QRMing me had the guts to tell the net he couldn't make me go 
away.  (the joy of having dual receivers is that you can listen to 
this crap while you are running a freq)

I understand that they usually meet on 7268, but I was there for 6 
hours prior to them arriving and well below them.  It's amazing that 
when you are loud, people think you are wide.
