Must have been an operator error making a log entry and spot.  Here is
what is in the log around that time...

the operator must have deleted the call at 1834z by replacing it with
k1ttt (ct doesn't let you delete, so this is common practice if you
enter something accidentally)  then he must have tried to send a spot
and if you haven't typed in a new call ct spots the last thing you
logged on that station.  As you can see we aren't running on that
frequency at the time.
