REPLY:

That problem already exists. I've heard the slim call on the DX 
frequency, pretending to be him. You usually can tell a difference in 
the signal, either strength and QSB, format of the reply, or on CW, 
speed. I'd have a macro that says QRT LID or words to that effect.

Keep in mind the advantages:  No jammers on the DX frequency, no 
interference from guys who forget to go split  and no cops with their UP 
UP UP. Even if the slim is jamming someone, it's only ONE station 
instead of jamming the DX for everybody.
