[CQ-Contest] TO7A debacle

[k3it]

UT5URW does not appear on 160m in any of the 7000+ logs except
TO7A's. There is also a second NIL QSO with UT5URW in TO7A's log on 20m.
 Andrey lives in a high rise apartment building and doesn't have a 160m
antenna as far as I know.

What's interesting is that UT5URW almost never sends in contest logs (his
main interest is DXing - I think he is missing only the Bouvet Island).
The last log submitted before 2014 was in 1995! But he is active in almost
every CQ WW, chasing DX and giving out points to friends.  Just never
bothers to submit the log. What a surprise in 2014!

I grew up with UT5URW and I know that he keeps absolutely meticulous record
of his activities. There almost no chance that he could make a QSO without
logging, especially if it's a non-trivial 160m DX contact.

curious if these NIL QSOs exist on the SDR recording.  May be someone else
was pretending to be UT5URW ;)

73! Vasily K3IT
