Well, it wasn't us! :-)
On Saturday afternoon, KA6BIM put out a number of spots using the KC1XX 10
meter run frequency (data from http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/)

We were not working these stations, and I have no idea where they were on
the band. However, it did result in an inordinately large number of
0-point stateside callers, as you can see from the log extract below:

Perhaps the VFO that was being read for spotting was different than the one
he actually tuned with. Note that he did actually spot KC1XX once, but the
VFO problem occurred before that spot, and continued afterwards.
