Hi Brad (and group),
While I don't necessarily disagree with you (and certainly not your motive),
we have to be aware of the fact that in-fighting among amateurs in front of
the FCC makes us ALL look bad, in their eyes. Too many complaints, even if
they are all justifyable ones, will make the amateur radio service look more
and more like a PITA to the FCC, who barely has enough resources anymore to
deal with only the most blatant, destructive, offenses.
OTOH, I can't offer any solution for dealing with these guys other than
ignore them & hope they go away.

To the group,
This is what we need to do as a TEAM, see FCC letter below) monitor all
persons INTERFERING WITH Qso's and our net.
This is willful disregard for a legal approved emission of operation (AM),
willful jamming or interfering with us can be handled through the FCC.
We need to have some of our fellow operators who have time, (sent up
monitoring times), document, voice record and one person ask them nicely to
move, explain why, and if they resist, file complaints with the FCC, ARRL
and any other group that will listen or will publish the complaint.
We need to PUBLISH, there calls, and any other information (of public
record) of there, on web sites, and in as many printed materials as
possible.
Theses operators are bad apples and are committing illegal acts.
Embarrass them, into doing the right thing, and then if needed as a team,
with all the signatures possible, send the complaints to the FCC.
If action is slow, each of us send a letter to the FCC weekly until we
action.
We need to hit them were it hurts, IN PLAIN VIEW OF FRIENDS, CLUBS THEY
BELONG TO AND THE COMMUNITY WHERE THEY LIVE AND WORK.
No insults, or threats, sweet and to the point, the legal way, the way the
FCC and other would respect.
Thanks, one option only
