If those stations did it with the same operator and the same rig,
technically one set of QSO's is illegal under the current rules.  They just
get away with it because they never submit one or both logs and ARRL has no
way to relate the call signs.  If one is not going to submit logs, we're
not talking about the rules anyway.
