I noticed two stations who had the sense enough to QSY after realizing
they had been spotted with a busted call.  That's about the only
recourse a station has.

This weekend seemed especially bad.  I think 5K0T got spotted more often
as HK0T than their correct call!  We should ban S, H and 5 from all
contest calls ;-)
