I recall locking horns with the 3895 slopbucket group back in the early 70's. I had just had a run-in with one of their ringleaders and naturally I was on the faeces list of the whole group. One night I heard them in QSO doing a CB spoof, using made-up callsigns with the proper FCC format for CB calls when the commission used to issue them, with my suffix as their prefix: "KYV2940 this is KYV1734, ten four?" I suppose they thought it was funny and that if I heard it I would be highly offended. Actually, I found it hilarious and was practically rolling in the floor with laughter.
