Yeah, as the compulsion to learn it has been abolished, so do the
SSB human zoo pileups increase. These "zoo's" are getting worse.
We have stations working split, and want to use an excessive bandwidth
to to spread the pileup out, usually the whole damn band gets used !
(Like 18MHz recently).
Then you get all the pillocks calling the dx on *it's* simplex freq
causing QRM and then you get all the "policeman" telling the pillocks
to call on the split, not the simplex freq. And then the rest of us
can't hear the dx - arggggggggggggh!
And then there are more pillocks at the dx end who call back callers
who have been *calling over an existing callers transmission*. And so
a vicious cycle emerges because everyone else starts to do the same in an
attempt to be acknowledged by the dx station.
Thankfully the CW ends of the bands are not as insane as the fone section.
That's when knowing Morse becomes an asset ;-)
