He was undoubtedly a slim. Heard him on 7000.4 on Sunday morning
calling for EU only, asking for USA to standby. Playing games. 
Then I heard him work some SA stations and two CO2's. I couldn't hear
any of the stations he "worked" including the Cubans. Someone called
him a slim and with that he told the pile to "get Stuffed" and 
went QRT. I sent, "QSL info", but received no answer. Only reported 
on 40 during test.

   Other possible/probable/should be non-counters on 40 last weekend:
 
BV2A: Answered my CQ. I don't see any other contest reports of him.
maybe...

FP5FC: His signal was from the NW. Others noted this too. Was on several
bands.

OD5AT: Called me and some others. Was S-9+  Yeah Sure!

OJ0A: Made lots of Qs. Strong. Maybe???

FK8HC: Weird op. Probably Ok but not sure.

And Last: A61AJ: OK, but shouldn't count because of habit of sending UP, 
       and then taking calls on own frequency. I'd rather listen to
finger 
       nails on a blackboard. Violated first rule of conducting a
pileup:
       Play Fair.
