Maybe not in a contest, but someone has been doing that on 40 CW for
years. I still hear it every once in a while. Someone shows up and
starts handing out "5NN" and gets a pileup and no one even knows who
they've worked.
He seems to show up at about 1000-1100Z. I last heard him a couple months
ago.
