[CQ-Contest] Spoofed Self spots

[HA3LN]

...ehh, out of curiosity checked my spots and found 2 entries.

14332.6  HG3N        31-Oct-2021 1320Z  <HG3N>
14225.0  HG3N        31-Oct-2021 1806Z  <HG3N>
	
Don't know if there are more I searched for on DXSummit and dx.hu. I 
have only HA3LN accounts on the clusters.


Someone was trying out other funny things too with recording my 
transmission and playing it back on my frequency. At first the 
"caller's" voice was very familiar but took couple of rounds to 
recognize the trick, that was my voice. At least I had live voice 
monitoring at that phase. Fortunately gave up shortly after.

73!
