Precisely why my response was "busted call....sorry" and nothing more.  But we learn as we go and the point has been made.  Thanks and 73, Jim N9JF

Hi All:

I'm sorry I was unable to join in the fray this year.  I had a prior commitment
as NCS for the Get Moving Tucson event here locally.

That being said, I am shocked to see the questions and answers going on in this
listserv regarding "information" on a clearly busted callsign!  It is against
EVERY contest's rules, and I hope that KC9UNL will see it for what it is, and
prevent the NIL.  The folks providing speculative answers are enabling this conduct.

Yes, I know, this is a QSO Party, not CQWW, but budding contesters need to know
to protect their reputation going forward.  Please review the Contester's Code of
Ethics at the World-Wide Radio Operators Foundation for more information:

    Curt,

    ND9FMB is NOT a valid US amateur call sign. The FCC does not issue 2x3
    calls starting with A or N to the amateur radio service.

    For further information see the "Call Sign Availability" section on the
    following FCC web page:

    http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm\?job=call_signs_3&id=amateur&page=

    I suspect you busted the call, it was most likely WD9FMB.
