Re: Rude contesters.. Contests bring out the most hams, thus you have the largest opportunity for rudeness. I would like to think there are no rude hams, but the key phrase in that statement is "I would LIKE to think".. alas, I know better.
By the way one of my regular nets is on the frequency that was used... right at net time... by the Emergency net set up to help following said hurricane.
We QSY'ed so as to clear the frequency for them. Which is the proper thing to do.
However many evenings I've opened the pre-net, set up conservations with others on 3935 only to have some one start up a qso say 1KC away, causing all manner of QRM and when one of us did the DELTA TUNE bit to listen to what they were saying the jerks were complaining about us.. AND WE WERE THERE FIRST!.
Save for priority/emergency nets. 1st come 1st serve is the rule of the bands
