PIRATE ---> Before you begin wondering if I1JQJ (a) has become unable to use
his second VFO, (b) has become deaf or (c) has become crazy, be advised that
yesterday, 11 April, someone pirated your Editor's call over and over again
on XY4KQ's transmitting frequency, on both 15 and 20 metres CW. I apologize
on behalf of the perpetrator and I am grateful to those who have expressed
their sympathy on the PacketCluster and by e-mail.
PIRATE ---> Luis, LU1BR reports someone pirated his call as VP8/LU1BR on 13
March (21.40-22.40 UTC on 28006 and 24896 kHz). Apparently this pirate is
also used to calling as "LU1BR" on DX stations transmitting QRG during split
frequency operations.
