Random callers below 1000 are ignored. Those who have already "engaged" the
Fox are automatically moved below 1000 to finish the qso...that's how the
software works.
Of course, there are those who have no idea what they are doing, can't read
and/or won't read, plus the deliberate qrm'ers...I saw one guy calling the
fox below 1000, at the same time the fox was transmitting. Obviously not
running the right version of the software.
There was lots of stuff like that.

BTW: K1JT and W7/KH7Z were both S9 +15 to 20 dB in Iowa with all 5 streams
> +3 most of the time.
