IMNSHO malicious interference, interference that prevents or
interrupts a QSO on a frequency from any source is ILLEGAL by the
existing rules. The fact that this rule is not being enforced should
generate information to the FCC on these interferences and requests
to the same agency to clean it up. If I were operating on a frequency
and one of these stations climbed on MY frequency (yes, I own it
while operating on it legally) a report would go to the FCC the same
day with time, frequency, and any identifying information on the
interfering station. The squeaky wheel concept.
Again in MO, any station operating unattended and generating RF
interfering signals should NEVER be allowed on Amateur
frequencies. If any persons/organizations wishes to operate in this
fashion they should apply for licenses and frequency assignments that
allow this type of operation. It certainly is more commercial than hobby.

>>>QRM from PMBOs and other deaf robots spoils the enjoyment of

of Christmas lists; "Ack *this*".
You see now why the PBMOs cannot install any DCD mechanism that
detects QRM and they leave the busy detection to be the responsibility
of the client? Because people like you would misuse such a mechanism
and the PMBOs would be rendered useless.
This is a VERY bad practice that you and your followers excercise and
hence you should have your license revoked for this action you just
admitted yourself.
+++Demetre, an anti-radiation missile is a weapon typically used to
destroy air-defense radars by locking onto their transmitter
frequency. "Anti-radiation missiles tuned to PMBO frequencies were on
a lot of Christmas lists" was a humorous way of pointing out that
PMBO QRM has generated widespread and massive frustration. Nowhere in
this message -- or any other message I have posted -- do I advocate
QRMing PMBOs. This sort of action would be as irreponsible as using
or operating a PMBO, and I have made that point here on several
occasions.
+++I have heard the argument that WinLink can't now apply busy-
frequency detectors because the amateur radio community is so angry
at them for years of QRM that operators would camp on PMBO
frequencies just to prevent them functioning. This argument is
completely bogus - just another rationalization for continuing to
generate QRM. While a few operators might QRM a few PMBOs for a few
days, the effect would be minimal. Even the most perverse human
operator won't sit at a station continuously just to QRM an automated
station. He or she will get bored and go bother someone more likely
to provide a reaction.
