[ADXA] 3Y0J a last comment... I can see why all the negative comments . .

[Dennis Schaefer]

San,

I think most of the people calling the 3Y aren't hearing him, and in fact,
many times they are calling because they saw a spot.  There have been
jammers on CW and SSB for decades, but with FT8, you can change a few
things in your settings and call CQ and pretend you're anyone you want to
be.  You can't get away with it for too long, but I think what has happened
is that a pirate will put out a call, get spotted, and then not work
anyone.  In the meantime, people call and call, on both sequences, even
though they haven't copied anything.  Or - someone just puts out a bogus
spot and people start calling.

Someone suggested that it is time for authentication on the spotting
networks, and there is something to that.  I'd say 9 out of 10 spots on DX
Summit are bogus.  Many of them have no callsign, they have just made up
something, and they throw out a frequency just so they can make their snide
comment.
