Working US UK & Canadian stations in contest with Inboomng signal. During the time I walked 1 block he worked contacts #220 to #253, all with 5 & 9 signals although he had to ask several of them to repeat their call signs. That doesn't soundlike 5 & 9 to me.

CAUTION! The following is the opinion of Glimmer Twin & does not represent the views of HFU:

Contesting sucks.

Heard this guy doing same contest on 20m tonight also giving 5 9  reports, as you can see on his QRZ page. He had to ask most of these stations to repeat their calls over & over before copying them. 5 & 9 ??
