As far as "legality", whoever was on freq first has squatters rights. Often some contest guy or a real HAM strays into 7173 and starts to call cq via ssb not realising there may be several sstv stations operating there, a strong burst of easypal or scotty sends them scurrying.

I understand that the voluntary band plan (as opposed to the FCC's hardline "RTTY & data this side/voice and image that side" rules for each band) kind of goes out the window during contests and that that's accepted practice too, but yeah, there wasn't any major phone contest on 20m yesterday so that doesn't apply. I guess the guy is a lid, per Chris.

A few searches on the internet for N9VTB came up with....ARRL Letter, Vol.22, No.17, April 25, 2003
FCC ALLEGES MICHIGAN HAM ENGAGED IN DELIBERATE INTERFERENCE, THREATS
The FCC alleges that a Michigan ham engaged in deliberate interference and broadcasting and threatened other amateurs, and it's sending Michael Guernsey Sr, ND8V, of Parchment a tape recording to back up those assertions. Since late 1998, Guernsey has been the recipient of seven letters from FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth, including two
warning notices. ......
In a related letter, Hollingsworth issued similar words of caution to George Zardecki, N9VTB, of Chicago, with whom, he says, Guernsey has squabbled on the air. While Hollingsworth indicated that he would review and take action regarding Zardecki's deliberate interference complaints, he advised Zardecki that "in several instances, your own conduct was as bad or worse than the party about whom you complained." He cautioned Zardecki against retaliatory interference, slander and name calling.
N9VTB internet searches also show 20M activity on freq. 14.275, 14.313 and VE7KFM :o

Wow. Now, THAT explains a lot.

Don't say his call three times, or he appears on the HFU.
