I recall locking horns with the 3895 slopbucket group back in the early 
70's.  I had just had a run-in with one of their ringleaders and naturally I 
was on the faeces list of the whole group.

One night I heard them in QSO doing a CB spoof, using made-up callsigns with 
the proper  FCC format for CB calls when the commission used to issue them, 
with my suffix as their prefix:

"KYV2940 this is KYV1734, ten four?"

I suppose they thought it was funny and that if I  heard it I would be 
highly offended.  Actually, I found it hilarious and was practically rolling 
in the floor with laughter.
