Bingo. Exactly 13 minutes after I posted a reply to the 80m dipole
query I received one of these "dating" solicitations, and the return
address has no relationship at all to a TowerTalk or contesting.com
address. Somebody is simply mining the list postings for addresses ...
probably with a robot. It doesn't require anybody to be hacked for
that to happen.

Not necessarily. This kind of thing has been going on for quite a
while now, and it seems more likely that somebody has been mining the
email addresses of those who post here to TowerTalk. It's trivial to
do just by going to the recent archives.
I haven't gotten either of those messages, but I bet I get a similar
one now that I've made this post.

I also got a message somewhat like that but it was worded different.
Same intent. Yep - think someone's been hacked. 73

I did not see the message that you quoted. I suspect that one of the
members of the TowerTalk list has had his/her address book "borrowed."
