I assume the call sign of that "one particular guy" is known. Is it possible he doesn't know the etiquette involved? May we hope he would appreciate a notice? I would. Isaac W4ITC (5w HT, FM only so far)

I have been working satellites since 2013. Today, I was roving on a grid line and worked the two East birds, AO-91 and 92. After I gave out my call and said "grid line" and gave the grids, guys tried to call me but no one would let them in on either bird, nor let me take them. The power was so high that my portable rig didn't have a chance. The entire pass, was this way. I have never seen such rudeness and greed on the birds. One particular guy dominated both passes. There was not one break at all. Is this what we have become? A free for all? Anybody who heard me and needs the grids, pleas email me. Brad KC9UQR grid line EN54/64.
