Operators who jump in on top of a QSO you’ve already started with SOMEONE ELSE should be shot.
That’s happened twice to me today on 20M. I mean, you CQ, they come back with their grid, you shoot them a report, and BANG some other operator with a more powerful signal jumps in with a grid like they didn’t even know you were talking to the other guy — which is BS or why would I be sending him a signal report?
I’m going back to JT modes and maybe some Olivia.
