[ADXA] Ole Slim !

[Rory Bowers]

I heard something kind of funny this morning on 40 where ZK3A was working a
huge pileup.  Some idiot just didn't understand that he was working split
and kept hammering away.  Finally I heard a station that was much stronger
than the DX send the guy's call 5NN.  I heard the guy answer and then went
away.  Sometimes it pays to listen, CW Ops can be devious :-)
