My scenario had the CW man on the frequency FIRST.

A typical CW guy will hear FT8 or JT65 as a kinda whiny wobbly intermittent
carrier. And will probably think it’s just some neighborhood switching power
supply noise. He won’t CQ right on top of it (because he wants to hear a DX
respondent) but he will have no problem firing up 500 Hz away.
But the digital guys e.g. FT8 have 2khz wide filters. So there is a fundamental
assymetry here.

So what's the protocol when a CW man checks a frequency, hears nothing, sends a
couple of QRL? and hears nothing and begins to run stations. Then sometime
later a guy running an imaginary mode...oops...sorry, FT8 shows up and wants to
park on the CW man's frequency? Who is to blame? I'll answer my own question:
the FT8 guy who is QRMing an occupied frequency.
Besides the FT8 guys can always resort to JTAlert to QSO via text messaging as
one west African station apparently tried to do with me.

There were ops all over the FT8 segments, refused to even try and work them and
some were some pretty rare mults for CQWWCW...gentleman agreements are of the
