Andy,

I am not sure I understand your issue.  If they have "Hold Tx Frequency "
checked, they are on "their" (I use the term very loosely) frequency and
they call CQ after the end of the QSO I don't see what your issue is.  If
they don't have that checked, then they probably jumped to the frequency
you called CQ on and there is a learning opportunity.  I agree with the
others, assume positive intent and see this as a chance to teach them a
better operating style.

Everyone needs to remember it is a *hobby.  *Last night I was trying to
work a Dx station on CW who was using simplex.  I became first frustrated,
then amused, by all the guys who if the Dx did not answer their call right
away keep right on sending their call  every 1 to 2 seconds *right over* the
Dx station.  There is a scene from the movie* Hunt for Red October* where
one of the characters notes, "Heck, they (the Russian anti-submarine search
planes) are flying so fast they would never even hear them (Red October) if
they were right on top of them!"

We all maybe need to slow down a bit, be a little more courteous to each
other, and not be quite so quick to jump to the pejoratives if someone
doesn't operate quite the way we think they should.  There are a lot of new
hams out there and that is a good thing for the hobby.  And an opportunity
for us to Elmer them just as I am sure many of us worked with an Elmer when
we were young pups.

Peace,

John
