Bill, To all appearances that call sign is bogus. The QRZ.com name of 
record is unusual and and address composed only of BC, Canada is a bit 
on the suspicious side. QRZ.com reports the call sign record as 
unmanaged. That would be a "no sale" for me.  I hope you did not suffer 
a loss.

Not so.  That callsign shows up several places on Google... was even a 
past officer of the Pacific Northwest VHF Society.


I'm not saying that he's a crook or anything, and I wouldn't be 
surprised to find that this complaint was the result of bad 
communication between the parties, but the callsign seems legit.


Personally, I find these gripe posts with unproven accusations to be 
totally annoying and out of place here.

Don't discount the possibility that someone hijacked his call sign -
especially if funds were not mailed to his physical address.

Re: [Elecraft] What out for VE7FYC

[Jim Rogers]

I suspect you may be right. It is just my personal policy to check QRZ 
for address confirmation before completing any transaction with another 
ham. It is just an added measure of confidence to me. The fact the 
gentleman had no address information on QRZ certainly could be as you 
say or as one other person suggested, the call sign was highjacked. I 
rarely sell except when updating my station and always use PayPal. If 
the buyer doesn't like PayPal then there is no sale. I ship when PayPal 
has the funds in hand, and I follow up with the tracking information to 
PayPal as proof of shipment. I also tell my buyer he has 7 days to 
return the item to me in original condition for a full refund if he/she 
is not completely satisfied. So far it has all worked for me and I have 
not suffered any loss in the few internet sales I have made.
