i have no way of knowing who was there first in the first instance, looking at
the packet history of when i came across them, it's hard to say - they were
both spotted within 2 minutes of each other. the second instance, the rare
mult was clearly there first as the other station left the frequency of the
first instance and found a spot right next to the KH6 station. that was the
clincher for me - the KH6 was spotted and within a few minutes the other
station shows up just next to him.
i would not have said anything if it didn't seem odd - how many dupes does it
take to realize they are trying to work someone else on nearly the same
frequency- 3, 4, 5??? while i was in the pileup for the KH6, i heard the
offending station saying "you're a dupe" more than a few times.
if i had recorded it, it would be very obvious this operator was conscience of
the KH6 and was trying to siphon off qso's in the pileup - i guess when you run
a multi in SS you have to resort to all manner of tactics to keep the rate
up... nevermind good operating practice or Part 97 rules.
