RECENT PIRATE CALL SIGNS
KG0EI reports via packet radio on several pirated call signs he has
spotted in recent days. KG0EI says that over 22% of the calls that he
worked in the recent SSB Sweepstakes either have no address which
matches the State given, are not available in callbook or listed in
most recent Buckmaster CD Rom. Add the Pirates to this list and it
makes life interesting.

Sensational news! Just imagine 22% busted contacts in an SSB contest.
Does anyone REALLY believe that somone would pirate a US or Canadian
call in a domestic contest?
