Just made WANK go QRT and are still QRMing Radio Free Whatever. You suck Ballsmacker. It is your job to check the frequency BEFORE you go on the air and you have interfered with other stations many times. I no longer believe you are sorry. Either you do this on purpose or you are totally careless. There are no other explanations. You do not own the frequency.

S9+10
43444

0057 - Ballsmacker came on over top of WANK with IS, then WANK went QRT.
0100 - R Free Whatever continues on 6950 USB also with S9 signal

Why does everybody have to fight over the 5 kHz of spectrum between 6955 and 6960, there is plenty of room to spread out.

0100 - All Right Now - FREE
0105 - I'm FREE - Who
0108 - FREE Will - Rush
0114 - I Feel FREE - Cream
0116 - Philadelphia FREEdom - Elton John
0121 - I'm FREE - Kenny Loggins
0126 - I Want to Break FREE - Queen
0129 - People Got to be FREE - Rascals
0133 - Young Turks - Rod Stewart (Young hearts be FREE tonight)

FYI, I was enjoying WANK before you just took over the frequency again. I guess you really don't care about stepping on other stations.
Your a real pissant.

He can change frequency, he just likes to bother people. I have seen him use USB, LSB, and 4 MHz frequencies so I am sure he has a ham radio with a VFO.

An ancient pirate law states, "An AM op has the right to sign on when and where they please and to make those who operate in the mode known as Satan's Sideband move off of the frequency."

In other words, Hi-Fi AM sounds better than squawk boxes, so quit your bitchin'.

While do do hate Satan Sideband, I still think that when there are so many frequencies available and all the stations have a VFO (no crystals, which was the case tonight) the station that got there later should just move. I do wish less stations used SSB though. It sounds awful and it’s the reason I often use SDR’s to listen to Europirates. The use of Satan Sideband is extremely rare among pirates in Europe.
