    What's The Story With KB2IXT?

    Scanning through the bands tonight as I have often done before. I come across the Marconi Radio Net, as I have run into before in the past as well.
    Tonight his QRM'er is playing 70's pop music, good audio quality BTW, and another QRM'er is replaying sound bits of his past nets. Everytime I hear this net, there is always interference. Consistent, planned out, tenacious interference.
    My question is: Why is there always interference on this net? What is the history here?

    Charles, I just did a Google search and came up with this page of opinions:

    http://www.kb1jcy.org/node/25

    I don't know if any of them are accurate or anything but apparently, he's pissed off more than a few people.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Following comment nails is squarely:

    "Sadly, the only purpose of this 'net', is to stroke Fred's misguided ego."
    And then there's the (n)ever popular "I, Victum!" schtick.

    I seem to recall it all starting because of IXT always parking shoulder to chest, next to other nets....and if correctly, a long established AM net in the begining.

    It seems if you can never get that right, you'll soon draw a large enough crowd of persistent goonies to make you infamous.

    I have not been on the Marconi net in quite some time, so take this with the proverbial "grain of salt".

    My personal observations are that:

    1) Fred's got a pretty big ego and doesn't take a lot of effort to conceal it. (yeah, I know... pot, meet kettle at least I'll admit it)

    2) He's managed to piss off a number of people over the years, both intentionally and unintentionally.

    3) He's in love with the sound of his own voice.

    4) He doesn't seem to know when to STFU about the jammers. In many cases, I think he encourages them on purpose so he can play the "victim".

    5) He doesn't know when to STFU in general.

    6) Like most people who inhabit the General portion of 75m, he needs to Get A Life. :roll:
