[Elecraft] Unusual Phenomenon OT

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

LDE's do not change frequency except in very small (a few Hz).  Someone was
retransmitting part of your call on frequency.  Easy to do that. But he
mis-timed it.  You weren't supposed to hear it.  Just more of the nasty
behavior you sometimes see these days.  73, Guy
