PIRATE
Apollo,SV2ASP/A, was very active and made more than 1500 QSOs in CW,
SSB and RTTY during the past time. But Apollo writes also that his call
was abused in CW by a PIRATE on May 16/17 (2300-0200 UTC) while he was
working in SSB at the same time.



Unbelievable.... Who would have the gall to pirate a monk's callsign?
