Zack and Jim,
Ditto here....he has been around for a number of years and as described by
the NZART Monitoring Service, he is indeed an experienced CW operator. I
wish I had kept notes on the various calls and exotic islands he has been
operating from. I'd suspect he is just a bored dx-er running on a couple of
cold 807's.
73 and Merry Christmas to All!
Tony, W4FOA

Uh Oh - is Pacific Slim back?
I've heard the same apparent station some years ago using the calls VR8B
("Yvonne on Ducie Island"), ZL8BX ("Bob on Kermadec Island"), ZL9A, ZL9RV
("Louis [YL] on Campbell"), ZK2DX ("Chloe on Niue").
I'll have to listen for this current station but I wonder if the station
often uses YL names, sends about 20 wpm and likes to ragchew with the
stations worked. If so, it could be the same Slim.

The NZART QSL Bureau has had queries re ZK3DX - 2006.
NZART Monitoring Service officer now has issued the following:
Hi All, There is a pirate station using the callsign ZK3DX. He has been
operating since the 16th of September and was last heard on the 3rd of
December
2006, he is usually around 7000 to 7010 kHz between 0500 and 0700 NZDT.
He
appears to be an experienced cw operator and claims to be operating from
Nukunonu Atol in the Tokelau Is.
The Tokelau Administration has not issued this callsign nor have they
heard of
any amateur operating from these Islands.
This callsign is being used illegally.
Merry Xmas, Len ZL1BYA, NZART Monitoring Service.
