This is a question about how the Block list works first. When a call is put on the Block list, does the list also aid YOU to not accidently contact that call again? If not, I'd like to request that when I block someone, it also blocks me from accidently contacting that call in the future. I had my first rude encounter this evening on VarAC. When I disconnected with "Great QSO. 73 de W4HTP Disconnecting... <DISC>", the guy called back and started ranting that it was rude to use <DISC> in my 73. I just disconnected at that point. He was upset that I had Ping'd him and said this isn't FT8. I don't think he yet understands how VarAC works.
Please make the Block list bi-directional, so I don't have to compile a list of "do not contact" on a white board. ;) Thanks
It works both ways now.
When you set someone on a block list it covers 2 things:
They can't connect you. if connected you auto-disconnect
You won't see their CQ/Beacons on your list. so no room for human errors.
If you still try to connect, upon connecting your VarAC will disconnect.
