I was working an MFSK QSO Saturday, and a Pactor station fired up right on our frequency. He obviously couldn't have cared less at the initiating end that we were there. And of course at the other end there was no human being to curb this illegal activity. The QRM was intense, but I QROed to 200 watts and eventually it went away. Plain and simple illegal behavior by the Pactor station. de Roger W6VZV
