[UK-CONTEST] Deliberately Corrupting call signs.

[Nigel G3TXF]

All seems very odd. I wonder if it's just someone calling
with their suffix (as many do) rather than deliberately
calling with one nice call and then making the QSO with a
less interesting one.

Come on. Let's have the actual calls ... so that we can all
make sense of this! 

73 - Nigel G3TXF

I agree - this has incurred the wrath of another Henderson.
