Unfortunately, you’re going to see a lot of this for some time to come because 
some people are apparently allergic to updating their software.  Since they 
were running RC1, they have a responsibility to check back often for updates 
(the same goes for RC2).

Aww. Got it. Thanks Steve!

Ken,
 
You are decoding frames that are being sent by someone who is still running 
RC1. The person who is running RC1 is trying to send messages to EA1FA. The bug 
in RC1 is such that whenever the first callsign in a message can be interpreted 
as a valid hexadecimal number, it will send that first callsign as a 
hexadecimal number in a telemetry message. People running RC2 will decode this 
telemetry message and will display the hexadecimal number that it contains, 
which is EA1FA in the examples that you are seeing.  
 
In summary, what you are seeing is the result of a bug in the instance of 
WSJT-X RC1 that is transmitting the message, and not due to a bug in your RC2 
version of WSJT-X. The station that is transmitting the incorrect frames is not 
EA1FA — it is someone who is trying to send a message to EA1FA.
 
Those incorrect messages should disappear once everyone moves to RC2 or newer 
releases.

I went ahead and reinstalled WSJT-X v2.0.0-rc2, just in case. Using Win10 on a 
I-5 quad core. Attached is a screen shot and my ALL.TXT file. I reset it right 
after re-installing rc-2. The type of decode I was questioning yesterday is at 
211315.
