[RVRC] who says ham radio isn't entertaining?

[drew Moore]

There is no reason K9JBM should be operating on 14.295. Let's hope the call
was copied incorrectly.

Well there's more than meets the eye here. I would say N4TAT has been a ham
longer that the dates shown on QRZ. Anyone with 20k lookups has been around
awhile. The date your seeing is either a renewal date or the date he
received his vanity call. Who knows how long k9bjm was a tech plus with HF
privileges before it was changed to technician designation. I suspect his
licensed lapsed at some point. There's more to this story. Somehow I think
the request for SWR was a spoof going on between them.

73,
Drew

That was understood, another part of the sad story.

understand what the problem was, all I need is my SWR reading."!
