I noticed that several folks got repeatedly chided this morning with "UP
UP!" for sending their call on H40MY's QRG when in fact they were working
FO/N6JA who was just below him listening up ~1 KHz. I could not hear either
Brad or Mike, but I was able to surmise the situation from the packet spots
and the seemingly odd behavior on H40MY's QRG. BTW, the same thing happened
a few nights ago when ZS1JX started calling CQ DX on 3501.0 KHz while 9U0A
was working on 3501.4 KHz :-) The perils of DXing.
