This crap has been part of the amateur radio subculture for as long as I can remember which is the 1980s when I started listening to shortwave radio and by extension amateur radio. This goes back actually further into the 1970s but I was only a young snot back then when there was a fair share of lids and assorted morons on HF from what I have been told. I came to age around the time that the famous 3894.5/3898/3901/14313 khz radio wars were going strong during the late 1980s early 1990s or at least to where I was getting close to graduating HS etc. I remember the first time hearing this crap was on a DX-440 Radio Shack receiver aka Sangean ATS-803 build with a Rat Shack label on it.
Back in those days you had Big "Al" Abernethy K4OKA versus "Porkbutt" Rich Whiten that had daily and nightly disputes on the middle of the 75 meter band around 3894.5 to 3901 with the poor guys on 3898 in the middle. Actually some of the material that people came up with actually quite funny including the famous "Porkbutt" song or Rich Whiten in response referring to the guys on 3894.5 as White Trash in America home of losers, boozers, bigots, etc. This also carried onto the 14.313 frequency on the 20 meter band back then and some of those alligators are still around although many of them have passed on and a new crop of lesser intelligent cretins took over. I won't name any names of the current morons but its some of the same old cast like Dumb Donnie, Jimmy O'Brainless, Fred, Detective Tom the ex-cop that got a big fine back a couple of years ago and others.
The old 3894.5/390/14313 had people like Rambo Dan, Porkbutt, Oris, Gerry, Pigpen Pete, Rube and Bill Irwin who got busted by the FCC for jamming under the moniker Raincoat Charlie, etc and then the other side was Airplane Bob TR, Jimmy Dale Polly Parrot, Billy Jack, Dumb Donnie, Jimmy O'Brainless Frankie the unlicensed operator, Big Al (his grandfather) who gave him the equipment to jam. It was a cacophony of jamming in double sideband since K4OKA opened up his FT-1000 MP and was using as much as 10,000 watts to beam his Porkbutt song all over 75 meters along with music, jamming tapes, rants, and various participants going at each other.
So in essence nothing has really changed only participants and maybe worse language than what was heard during the 1980s to mid 2000s on 75 meters and by extension 20 meters. In fact, now I think its actually spread more since 7200 khz is sometimes a real foul place to hang out along with the 3840 groups and of course 14.313 still has some of the same morons or new ones coming to age and most of them are retiring or getting older with more time on their hands to stir the pot.
If you had been there in the 1988 to 2005 time frame you would have been amazed at the trouble these guys in many cases went to in order to jam and create mayhem on 75 meters. It did finally calm down some when K4OKA got off the air and Porkbutt WB2OTK turned in his license but eventually even the miscreants came back and of course the rantings of an unnamed Western Canada stations on 20 meters contributed to the problem.
