I heard the same thing you did Gary but I wasn't able to break the
pileup on either band.
I hope I can eventually get through what is among the worst intentional
QRM on a DX station that I have heard.

Same crap today on 15 meters. One of the PT0S was coming from 40 degrees.
The other from 110. Just plain stupid.

Here's an idea that I'll toss up into the air as a (possible) first step in
bringing a few of these lawless characters to heel:
Maintain some sort of an open-to-all web page that is frequented by would-be
future DX'peditions that contains a master list of the call signs of those

Nice idea, but the majority of the really terrible stuff is done by guys
who don't sign their calltuning up, or pretending to be the DX station,
or some kind of intentional interference. We've all done the wrong VFO
thing and sent our call on the DX stations freq. That is easily
I'll name names. Last night on 80 meters, K0MN kept calling over and
over through the entire period (~15 minutes) when PT0S was listening for
JAs at his sunrise. To make matters worse, somebody decided it would be
helpful to read him the riot act on PT0S's frequency as in K0MN idiot
over and
I should add that in fairness to K0MN, I don't know if that was actually
him calling PT0S or someone bootlegging his call. I've seen at least one
case (and I am sure there have been plenty of others) where the culprit
is bootlegging the callsign of someone else. In the case I am thinking

For illegal power, there is not much you can do unless, as you say, you
are in the shack watching it. For bad operating you can diplomatically
mention to the offender that your heard someone using their call and
using very poor operating techniques (specifics supplied) and that you
figured
This topic is getting old.
Here's another point of view:
Why should I let myself get aggravated over the poor operating habits of
others?
Why should their bad behavior take up my valuable time to give them the
attention they want?
I can't be bothered writing complaints or naming names or
Good advice, Mike. In fact, that's why I followed up my initial post
with the suggestion that I had know way of knowing that the previously
named offender was the actual perpetrator of the bad operating. In
hindsight it would have been better to contact him privately and pass on

This is my opinion also. The prestige of 160 comes from its degree of
difficulty.Poor propagation, Jammers, QRM, QRN, and bad locations are
all part of what makes it difficult. We then work to over come and make the
contact with technology and operating practices as best we can.

I understand what you are saying, Bruce, but we should remember that
other DXers may not be the only ones listening:

If you read this you will see that the folks who put this expedition
went to a lot of trouble to get permission to operate on this entity.

I'm just speculating here but back in the day (the W1BB days) the intentional
QRM element was not present or at least as prevalent as today and what most
folks would desire would be to remove that element from the challenge by some
means. I don't think any of us desire to remove the natural
Since I sort of started this with my post last night...
I don't think that public humiliation is going to fix this problem. As
others have pointed out, there is too much of a potential for abuse with
people deliberately signing others callsigns, etc. I think the best is
peer pressure from
An interesting aside
When PT0S was on 80M last night there was a W0 with a wide raspy
signal. He was quite loud here in WI. He was calling about 8 up and
his signal was so bad he was covering up the transmit frequency of the PT0.
I sent him a courteous e-mail and he responded this
I don't like seeing all the comments I'm reading in the cluster reports. It's
sad.. but it will pass soon.
Like someone else pointed out.. I'd hate to see people turn away from all the
hassles of an expedition like PT0S because of the acts of some.
I haven't had contact with PT0S yet but I
What gets me is the one who has a fantastic antenna farm but still has to
resort to a tube with handles when he doesnt get thru right away with the
store bought amp. The signal increase is dramatic and he is a regular on the
forum.
