[CQ-Contest] SS SSb - bogus call

Hi,

        About 10 or 12 years ago, there was KL7 station on 80 meters during
CQ WW SSB.  Was he ever LOUD.  I found that to be strange since I had never
even heard KL7 on 80 meters before.  It was also strange how the path from
KL7 to New England seemed to be skewed - he was stronger on my SW 80 meter
loop than on my NW 80 meter loop.  Anyway, needing KL7 on 80 to finish my
5BWAS, I happily worked him and sent him my qsl.  As you would expect, I
received a note back from the gentleman saying that he only operates CW and
that I'd been had by a pirate.

        It kind of makes you wonder about people who do that sort of thing.
I suspect that their lives must be somewhat lacking.....

73, Dave Clemons K1VUT
