[Elecraft] OT: solved: K7NEE/8R1 Dan (Guyana) on 30m

Even if he has applied for K7NEE as a vanity call he's not 
entitled to use the call until the FCC issues it.  Looking 
at the FCC database - "Daniel Nezgoda" is a Technician Plus 
who has applied for the vanity call N7EAA (not K7NEE).  

This operation looks bogus on so many levels (Tech Plus on 
30 meters, illegal call, etc.).  I don't know if it is a 
violation for the FCC to use an improper call when portable 
outside the US but I'd think the authorities in 8R1 would 
want to know that this guy isn't who/what he say he is. 

73,
