You are absolutely right Shelby. He should be where he says. But sometimes
they lie to us on purpose and sometimes they make mistakes. I'd rather work

I remember years ago workin' Ron Wright ZL1AMO from Kermadec on 20m CW. At
the start of this operation he said he was working up. I worked him early
on, down a couple of KCs. He lied but his rate was way up because his
pileup was manageable. He was also going at 40wpm to weed out the pile even
more.
