My comment was based on how the agitators I have ran across behave. Some of them are bat shit crazy and just don't care.
Valid points spoken from experience. Although, we have a new wrinkle to add for the good guys, and its called Google. This thread has been indexed, stored and backed up on servers already for ALL time. We even get to thank the NSA as well for doing their part. If I was the accused, a family man, supposedly not "bat shit crazy", I wouldn't want contradictory information that could be easily searched and found that they had a mental breakdown and they actually were "bat shit crazy". They are going to have to sign up for the witness protection program if they did or then again as you said ... they could just not care.

I wish you the best of luck. Just remember that all of google services can be used by anyone for good or bad. Truth lies and slander can all be spread. It usually hurts the innocent the worse. I just turn up the squelch and roll on.

I had an operator in South Carolina who hassled me all the time. Always interrupted my QSOs. Made references to me and Pablo Escobar, called me a drug dealer etal. Even went so far to say, " I'm going to kill you, 399." I never replied, but just copied the mail. One day, I heard him and he was calling CQ and actually Identified himself. I kept listening and after a few weeks learned his call sign, name, and even his location in S. Carolina. I actually contemplated going to the US just to show this guy how Colombians deal with someone like him.
But, one day, I was having a qso and this bendejo jumped in and started on me again. Turned out he was very close to the person I was talking to, and before long, the asshole and my contact were having words. The last thing my contact said was," I'll take care of this for you, 399." I never heard the jerkweed again. Sometimes things just work out, if you know what I mean.

This last few months has been pretty good around here in western Canada with some Sporadic-E propagation covering the Pacific Northwest. I enjoy talking with fellow Canadian and USA operators on 11m, more specifically on CB channel 38LSB. Although, this enjoyment has been hampered due to the fact that a local operator chooses to cause interference rather that use the radio for what it is intended to be, a communication device.

The operator in question goes by the self designated callsign of CDX304, of which he uses uses on this site as well. He rarely frequents and contributes(?) anything to the forums. Initially he attempted his best Trump-ish impersonation to intimidate, bully and one time even called me outside to fight it out. Fight what out? After I listened and did my research, I ID'd him over the air and the verbal communication ceased. Although, now all that he uses his Flex 1500 for is to cause interference with any other operator trying to communicate by keying up with a single tone or a sweeping audio transmission that spans 20khz or even transmitting on multiple frequencies at once. I'm not on the radio 7/24, but I do know that whenever the propagation allows and I try to start a QSO with Larry (WR178) or any other OP, he's there to cause interference. This is a seasoned radio operator. Works as a local professional radio technician. A middle-aged family man with a wife and two kids behaving like a 10 year old with his first CB.

So why this thread? Its 11m, disorganized, out of control, dead. To be expected. No local authority cares or would do anything about. So then is it not up to the remainder of the community to look out for itself and expect other participants to behave as well so that we all can enjoy this hobby together? The radio community is as small as the local area here in Edmonton, Alberta or as large as propagation will allow around the country or world. I have heard many other radio OP's around the continent have remarked as to where the interference is coming from. A number of other members such as the child molester, ebay seller thief, waffle eating Texan, snake oil tweak-nition, to name a few, have been called out over the years on this site to shine a light on the cockroaches that infest the hobby. I don't need this. The radio community is no better for it. What does the WorldwideDX Radio community think?


Trump-ish impersonation is a term now? You must be near enough to the USA to watch the news over here. I keep my political views off here because some agree with the way he feels on some things like helping vets and watching the borders better jobs, stock market soaring . Hows europe doing opening the gates and letting anyone in that can get there. Acid attacks, Vans mowing down people? Im done and not trying to start crap. Peace!

Interesting story.
Is "bendejo" a typo?
Here in the Southwest United States we spell it "Pendejo".
Just curious between South American Spanish and North American.

"BENDEJO" is a slang expression of "PENDEJO" that is used in our area of Colombia. In other parts of the country PENDEJO is used. Lots of slang expressions are used here and it was very confusing for me when we first got here 10 years ago ( My God, how time flies). But once I learned the slang expressions, it was much easier to have conversations with the locals.

Where I come from there's two no no's. 1. Talking religion 2. Talking politics.
I'm not talking about not mentioning those subjects on air.
Im taking about Person to person.
It's proven to be bad for business and friendship's.
I've brought this life lesson to CB radio.
I won't speak about, or reply to anyone who'd like to touch on the subject.
Got a phone call or 10-7 when I hear the first words that might leed to a religion, or a political QSO. 73
 
I appreciate everyone's participation on this thread I started. Please keep all comments focused on the thread topic.

Yahoo update: Sporadic E has been sporadic around here. Meaning that there has been no propagation, no reason to key the microphone and therefore, no opportunity for anyone to run interference. Thats one way to solve the problem.

Fed up and frustrated enough to start this thread. This has been going on for months.
