There was a yank station on 10m the other day, Says he had waited ten years for a good opening but says standards had went down hill With stations shouting on him whilst he was in a QSO and he ended up going QRT

Re: Amateur Radio DX Contacts / Reports - Sept to Dec 2022
I can quite believe it. People don't want the rag chew these days, just the contact in the log and the braggin rights down the club the next week.Buick Mackane wrote: ↑13 Oct 2022, 17:01 There was a yank station on 10m the other day, Says he had waited ten years for a good opening but says standards had went down hill With stations shouting on him whilst he was in a QSO and he ended up going QRT
If I were him, I'd name and shame those calling in. Make a point of calling them out and making sure they never get confirmation of contact from him.

Mostly yes as I am normally on when the little one is sleeping or if I am working from home, though I had a few on 11m in the log on voice yesterday.

Re: Amateur Radio DX Contacts / Reports - Sept to Dec 2022
So I am just casually doing a bit of FT8 on 30m and up pops 5B4AMM. His contact email address on QRZ caught my eye and I did a little Googling. Turns out its Ex Professional Footballer and now Dynamo Kyiv general manager Sergei Rebrov!
Had a little fan girl moment to myself haha.
On another note, I know after the invasion I heard that all the HAMs had been told to stay off air, but looks like they're slowly coming back on now. Sergei was in Kyiv, so relatively secured from Opposing forces these days, but I have had contact with stations in contested areas too.
