Really? Then either your luck, your operating practices, or your station must be MUCH different than mine. I get QRM'ed every week at least once. I'll be in QSO with a station and WHAM! Somebody starts to call CQ on top of us. Or just off to the side, overlapping our QSO slightly. Or, I'll be attempting to tune-in a weak DX station that's either CQ'ing or in QSO and somebody will start to CQ right over the DX (THIS happens most frequently of all). I'm not saying any of this is INTENTIONAL QRM... but it sure is a common occurrence for me, de Peter K1PGV
