Funny. In the past, I've offered several "problem" DX stations (alleged
GS/IRC collectors) to be their manager. A few said yes. I've yet to see a

At the time D44BC became a SK there was some talk about someone getting
Julio's logs and assuming the QSL duties. I don't know if that ever took
place, though.

Well, all I can add (as far as factual information) is that in following up
this for the DX Column in my club newsletter, I've discovered that not only
is the PY3ZM call unlisted, but so is the infamous HH2PM call. His OK8ZM
call is shown on the QRZ.com site, but not in the OK on-line callbook.
What I'm curious about is who AN8AH really is? I'd thought at first it was
a contest prefix for EA8AH... but EA8AH is QRV...
