Not only on MF. During the recent RTTY RU, G3LZQ answered my CQ on 80M 
around 0730Z, with a signal that was so loud that I absolutely did not 
believe it was real -- a REAL S9+ on my K3, as strong as a big station 
in CO. G3 is 5,200 miles and over the pole (and G is limited to 400W). 
I'd never heard an 80M EU signal stronger than about about S6. I was 
convinced it was a pirate playing games, and deleted the QSO from my 
log, not wanting to be penalized. Turns out it was quite real, and I had 
to restore it to my log.  Now I'm a believer in "ya never know.:  :)
