Topband: Foreign stns using NA remotes for K1N

[Larry Burke]

Amen. One commercial remote business advertises "completely anonymous
operation". It's the ham radio version of the No-Tell Motel. 

Sure, it could be someone else's station. I heard the IT9 "QSO" described in
the original note. He was definitely NOT transmitting from Europe, and this
is not the first time I have heard him do this. A look at the description of
his equipment on QRZ.com would lead one to believe he didn't make this
contact from home. 

This is not a whine and my panties are not in a wad. Just adding an
observation.

This is easily found out without the NSA,   just look at who paid for 
the minutes
used at a remote station and it would show who used it and when, Can
guarantee that wont be forth coming.
Reminds me of the ole joke:

The first chicken that cackles, laid the egg.
