Stations active from Zone 35 were D44TD, D4B and 5U5Z (Niger). D4B 
was sending (and mis-sending..) far too fast for his own good, 
perhaps you copied him as D4A. Note that D44 is the normal prefix for 
Cape Verde (and is one of the regular countries in the contest 
scene), D4B (single number) is presumably a special contest call.
