The blacklist thing is nonsense. You open yourselves up to potential
lawsuits. Who can say for sure that the "bad" caller is using his real
call.
That's a very good point. I was calling in one very large pileup a few
years ago. It was an SSB pileup - a rare occurrance for me, but at the
time I suspected this particular operation would be the last for many
years from that country, and he wasn't working CW at all. Someone taped or
digitally recorded me calling and started playing it back on the DX
frequency. I was rather upset. Maybe that's what I get for working SSB.
:-)
On CW it would even be more difficult to tell if the offending station
was in fact the one whose callsign was being sent. But even on SSB, it
isn't a sure thing, as in above example.
