This weekend my boss has kindly loaned me the new Icom IC-7300 MkII to have a play with and get used to. This is to help our customers with their radios and any issues they might encounter 
when trying to set up their radios. I have also bought a Mydel VH-6 portable antenna to use along side it to try and get on the air. Happy days, it worked and a quick contact with RW1F on 15M SSB and I was happy.
Carried on setting the radio up to the computer with the same barriers my customers had called me about and we had managed to cure, so I set about a complete install for myself. While doing this I was listening to the current major DXpedition on 15M SSB to Desecheo Island, near Puerto Rico in the Caribbean. What a s**t show. Stations calling over them, stations swearing and arguing. Stations just generally making a noise and for what. Just because they are animals and have no consideration for other operators. I also have to say every voice came from a Southern European country in the shape of a boot, or one of the old Eastern Bloc countries. Just disgusting animals, in fact no animals know how to behave! I am just glad I wasn’t trying to demonstrate amateur radio to school kids or any newcomer to the hobby.
And these people class themselves as me in the elite DXers of the hobby. How wrong can they be. But the other side is they will not give out their callsigns as they know they are doing wrong, but still do it. No wonder there are times I think about walking away, but then I remember the many who are not like these amoebas and make the hobby fun.
