Lots of talk here about people using calls that do not indicate their
correct location, particularly indicating the wrong multiplier.
I'll add to the list of offenders: KZ5D. Every time a work him, I expect
that I have bagged the Canal Zone mult.
Just kidding, of course.
Looking at my old logs, I see that in SS CW 1968 at W3AZD I claimed 617x74,
missing only CZ.
In 1973 K3OAE operated at the station of of N6XI/K3QDD's father, K3QDC I
claimed 728x74, missing only MAR. The CZ mult was KZ5BB.
In that 1973 log the NEB mult (#69) has an added a note: "Honest!!" Must
have been a foreshadowing of the 2010's. Fourteen minutes and eight QSOs
later I got YUK (no note in the log). Four QSOs after that was the
singular SF(O), W6BIP, then four QSOs later was SJ(V). Mult #73 was AK,
and my last mult was WM(A), which was a bit rare back then.
Lot of familiar calls in that 1973 log: W3LPL, K3GJD, K3EST, WB2RKK, K0LUZ,
VE4GV, and on and on.
73, Art K3KU
