[OKDXA] Anyone else work 5S3RK?

Kim,

I think it has been a while since he has been in Madagascar.  You might
check DX Summit at  http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/ and do a Spot Database
Search.

Oops.  Thanks for fixing my busted call.  I couldn't figure out why he'd
have an odd prefix.  But here's the weird part: I just checked my
Buckmaster database and *both* 5S3RK and 5H3RK are call signs registered to
the same guy. When he's in Madagascar, he's 5S3RK and when he's in
Tanzania, he's 5H3RK.  Could he have been in Madagascar?

Regardless, this just shows that even a lid like me can work a new one now
and then...
