Hmm ... I'm wondering what band and mode.
Several years back, there was a notorious Slim who plagued 40 and 30
meters on CW. He/she/it used the calls ZL8BX ("Bob"), ZL9RV ("Louis - YL"
on "Cambell (sic) Island"), VR8B ("Yvonne on Ducie Island") and a few
others I don't remember at the moment. Noticeable common operating
pattern of all of the above was liking to ragchew a bit with each person
worked, and often "working" stations which were not within propagation of
the Pacific at that time. My guess is it was someone in VK/ZL land having
their fun with these made-up calls.
Does that look familiar? Is this infamous person back at it?
