a sad report

Saturday Afternoon (roughly 2000 UTC on April 12, 2008) hundreds of Amateurs were patiently listening while Peter 5X4X (Uganda) was working a huge pile up by the numbers, simplex on frequency 14.277.7.
Out of the blue the “Cult of 14.275 QRM” starts calling ”Is this Frequency in use,” further announcing they didn’t care if there was anyone else already established on frequency. They then started transmitting rebroadcasts keyed on-and-off exactly to block Peter 5X4X [ß SOP by KZ8O, W4NTI, K3VR, N1FM, KI4LUB & Co. on 14.275]
Peter had carefully worked at least once through 0 to 5’s when the deliberate frequency blocking started.
Unfortunately the QRM was so heavy and directed that Peter 5X4X chose to go QRT, rather than QSY to another frequency.
