[SixClub] Hogging the Calling Freq [Was: band is open]

[kd4e]

That's what a couple of KW's with beam arrays are for -
get the attention of the selfish and gently persuade
them to yield the calling frequency.  ;-)

Perhaps you need a new OO?

It is not only about legal and illegal, it is also about
good Ham practice - doesn't hurt for an OO to drop guys
a gentle note now and then to remind them to be considerate
of others - folks forget that everything is not all about them.

It's not really their fault, they are just following the
role models of entertainers, media big-shots, and
politicians.  :-(
