QRM
Every once in a while, someone will unintentionally, or intentionally disrupt the System with QRM. How do we handle it? With tact and politeness. We do not attack the person, use foul language toward them, or in any other way attack them. We are known as the Friendliest group on the ham bands, and we strive to maintain that status. So, if you hear someone QRMing the system, it is permissible to politely ask them to QSY, explain that the System has been on the frequency for over 60 years. However, if they refuse to move, it is not permissible to chastise them in any way, especially using foul language. Our Controls are the best on the face of the earth, and we are very proud of you.
73’s Rose, KL7FQQ
