The slim was not a ZL slim as beam headings were wrong for us. He pointed
more up to the islands from here. A lot of us heard him at the time. He
seems to come out of retirement every few years, probably making Slim DXCC
the hard way!
I called hi back a few years ago and soon as he heard the call he went QRT
Hmmm!
There is no operation from the Kermadecs at the present time.

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?
