Short of someone's life or limb being in danger, there is no excuse for
transmitting on a DX station's frequency.
Its hard to look someone in the eyes and firmly say "what you're doing is
wrong, and here's why". At least your friend had you to tell him; for all
too many ops, there's no one.
We reap what we sow...

Today I have been setting here in the Ham Shack, reading a book, because I
couldn't hear any of the DX but did check frequencies. (Easy to do whey you
are retired and an old F...) I was really amazed at the language I was
hearing and first put it on the dumbing down of the ham radio license
requirements but then remembered recently I was visiting a friend who has
been a ham for probably 12-15 years, he was calling a dx station on CW and
some body came up on freq and he went critical with the UP UP UP FU FU FU
etc. I asked "what are you doing." His answer "I work hard all day and
when I come home and have time to ham I don't have to put up with that s..."
Well maybe that is the problem now, not the dumbing down of the license but
working hard to support a family, taking too much sh.. from the boss and
just no patience when you get home.
