Yep... he got me, too. He started off by playing my own CQ back to me,
and I just blew him off. Then I heard KM1H's CQ, and managed to maintain
my jocularity over the situation. He didn't actually "get me" until he
played just a callsign to me, and then I took the bait.
So, somebody was having fun at our expense... what else is new?
BTW, thanks for the QSO's, everybody. Congrats to WE9V for taking the M/S
US call are 9 title from us by DOUBLING our score. Sheesh. :)

Yes, well thats the price one pays for being ignorant.
(Ignorant of two things: KH7 is OK for Hawaii; WR6R is no bozo.)

Thanks, Joe. I knew KH7 was Hawaii and didn't have time to get the
info off the net. Al has been operating from Hawaii for a number of
years, and if memory serves me right, he also operated as WR6R/KH7
last year. Of course, any one that is somewhat warm and has contested
for more than a year would know this. Guess a couple newbies got their
undies in a bunch when they found out they didn't get a new one after
all and made a couple comments that were best left unsaid.
