[Hallicrafters] Rare DX

[Mike Everette]

I remember seeing in an old QST a "Stray" about a guy
in one of the African countries -- Nigeria? -- who
actually was issued the call 5U4GB.  I thought it was
a spoof, but no, it was real.

Once during an ARRL SET, I heard a bored CW operator
check into a net with one of those made-up test 
messages, and I told the NCS I'd relay it... when the
guy sent me the traffic the originating station was
given as SH1TTY.

Oh well....
