[OKDXA] DX COPS AMD MALICIOUS QRM

[John Geiger]

I think we have the DX cluster to thank for alot of
the interference, especially on CW.  Most of these
Jabronis can't copy well enough to ever find DX on
their own.  I would bet that almost all of them can't
copy CW at all, and hate those of us that can.  They
just look on the cluster, find where the rare DX
station is, and start the QRM.  

And there were probably jerks like Nini, IT9RYH
before, but we are just more aware of it due to the
internet and constant worldwide communication. 
Somebody in Italy needs to go pin his coax.

I saw somewhere that main source of NA QRM, VE3OGZ
assumed room temperature.  I didn't send any flower to
his funeral.
