This morning, while listening for STS-78, I heard a male voice saying
"This is W5RRR listening", then he'd say "Go ahead", and then back
to "This is W5RRR listening", and sometimes "Say again".  I never
heard anything else, i.e., no other call signs given, no signal report,
no indication of a contact, no nothing.   Was I really hearing STS-78,
or was it a slim.  If it was STS-78, wouldn't normal operating procedure
be to acknowledge the call of the caller and provide some sort of
exchange to make the contact complete?  I really don't believe it was
a slim because the signal was clearly peaking (although not very
much) in the direction I expected to find Columbia.
