We were monitoring for him on Ft 8. Popped up his call sign but I think it was a pirate. Wrong sequence and too strong. We only saw him print twice. Like I said I think it was a pirate.Had a ton of fun with the Congo today.73 Jay/w5jay..Sent from my Galaxy

FT8WW has been on 15 mtrs the past two mornings, starting on CW then moving to FT8.
Has anyone copied him on 15 meters??
He was very very weak this morning on 15 CW SP. I had no copy LP or via a skewed path. He was not strong enough for me to call and bust through the EU pileup. He faded out after a bit. When he moved to FT8 I had no copy. There were a few east coast USA stations calling him, a few on FT8WW's xmit sequence who obviously were NOT hearing him at all!!!!! No USA stations were working him.
I actually saw an EU station calling him during FT8WW's sequence and calling with "FT5WW". Quite obvious he never copied Thierry!!! Some of this is very comical, most of it is sickening but this is not new. It has existed on CW and SSB forever!
Anyway, just curious of any ADXA folks have copied him on 15 meters?
