Are you sure that the actual station running on the frequency spotted
himself as someone else? Perhaps this was done mistakenly by having the
VE2*** in the entry field instead of his own N***callsign while trying to
self spot .  Incorrect spotting would only create a bunch of dupes in his
log from people that just click and call so it would make no sense to do
this intentionally.  What is the moral dilemma of self-spotting in an ARRL
contest?

Near the end of phone SS, QC was need for the sweep. An N*** spotted a 
bogus VE2 on his run frequency. A bit later he did again on a different 
frequency.  So this brilliantly solves the moral dilemma of 
self-spotting. QC never found.
