I'm curious if any of you have witnessed impersonation by a ham radio
operator. In other words, someone was transmitting and claiming to be
someone else, using an alternate name and/or callsign.

sure I have heard of it

Yes, Markie is impersonating a ham and a human being as you can plainly
see.

there are certainly ham that have no sense of honesty look at K4YZ on
herehe has no compoution about alter the calls and post of thers (and
of threatening them with lawsuit either

Why were you jamming those repeaters, Markie?

This curiosity came up because I had a brief ssb reception in the
80-meter band a few nights ago before going to bed. The people
chatting were arguing about being lied to by the others, and the
conversation included some not-very-convincing threats of lawsuits.
Something along the lines of "I would testify in court that you called
me on the phone and lied to me!"

I'm not a ham myself, just a shortwave listener. Regards, w.
