W4W Alabama field day ops	Reply

W4W W4W ......Honorable mention goes to the Alabama based W4W group who sat on 14.349 USB for hours calling "cq field day". When informed they were operating out of the band... they replied that they were skilled operators and that "my dial says 14349". They continued to operate out of band.

WB4ZJY is a phony call sign. Another case of a troll making claims without the cojones to sign his real name. 73, Lon - W3LK Naugatuck, Connecticut

Everybody is a "skilled operator" when they're using someone else's call, just like everybody on the Internet is an "expert." Who, may I ask, went up to 14349 to tell them they were out-of-band? Seriously, they (and everybody who worked them) will probably get an OO notice and life will go on. I still don't understand why people have so much trouble with the concept of staying below the band edge on USB, though.

k8gu... "Who, may I ask, went up to 14349 to tell them they were out-of-band?" Well, I was listening, as an unidentified station replied to the W4W CQ. He started politely enough, telling the W4W ops, they were out of band. They ignored him. He then explained the usb concepts and they replied they were "skilled" and knew what they were doing. It was surreal.

Oh my, the feared Newington OO toilet paper, not even sent in an envelope for the recipient's privacy? I'd rather be eaten by lions than get one of those. Oh wait, I got a few right here, earned over 25 years of HF & packet. On packet, I sent "too many forwarded messages"... Heh... Who really cares what the ARRL drones aka OO's say anyway? In this case, it would be for a rather stupid "infraction" to cite someone for... much like "language" which is in the ear of the listener... Raf

While some "language" may be subject to interpretation depending on the recipient, operating USB on 14.349 leaves nothing to interpret. It, plain and simple, is a violation. It shouldn't be done.
