It is dead wrong for the ARRL to do that and they know it. Lazy and inconsiderate are terms that come to mind. There is no excuse for anyone anywhere at any time to not listen, inquire and listen some more *prior* to transmitting. None. ARRL not exempted. Talk about "do as I say, not as I do". Now we can understand why the ARRL has so much trouble understanding why most Hams oppose automatic/ unattended digital modes QRMing all over Ham spectrum -- they do it themsleves!
