[PaQSO] Interference stories?

[Michael Coslo]

	I wonder how many of us have been interfered with during the party?  
Last year on 20 meters, I had a fellow try to interfere with me for  
over an hour. Started out with him "tuning up" as soon as I stopped  
transmitting. Then it graduated to mooing noises, then he tried to  
send SSTV signals, and finally recording and playing back my previous  
transmissions. Fortunately I could notch him out most of the time,  
and kept up a pretty good rate. He certainly couldn't interfere with  
my transmission, as I was at legal limit into a decent antenna.  
Finally he just gave up.

	Gotta wonder why people do that.

		Another time a fellow broke into a QSO to yell (yes yell) at me  
that I had speech compression on. I thanked him, and told him that I  
knew that. Then I tried to continue the exchange. and he broke in  
again to tell me to turn it the H**l off! I asked if he was in the  
contest, he said no, then I asked him if he wanted to work me anyhow  
just to give me the point, and then the floodgates let loose! I was  
called every name in the book.

	Any funny interference or contest hater stories?
