[CQ-Contest] What does this question mean?

[Bill Coleman]

During the recent NAQP CW, I was having fun running some stations on 40 
CW. Between callers, someone sent me a burst of CW that I didn't quite 
catch. After a couple of repeats, I believe he asked: UR RIG YAESU 
FT1000xx?

To which I replied, NO ELECRAFT K2

I don't know who asked the question, or even if I got it right. My 
question is -- why would anyone care, especially in the middle of a 
contest?
