Absolutely correct! These old farts, gum beaters and false teeth
clackers, are usually running 100 watts or so to outside
non-directional antennas and are often no more than 20 miles apart. If
challenged one will be told that "we were hear first and you should move
on". They do not recognize the national calling frequency by
gentleman's agreement. Seems like hours and hours of QSO's takes
place as "members" of the group come in and out during the evenings.
I've often heard stations in the distant calling CQ and I've answered
them on the calling frequency and asked the distant station to QSY up or
down 5. Then I hear about me QRM'm their QSO. Crap such as this is
one reason I stopped contesting on VHF.
