[WVDXA] SV2ASP/A was NOT on CW on May 16th

[Clark L. Stewart]

Guys,

      The following was published today in the Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin No. 812:

SV/A, MOUNT ATHOS (Pirate Alert). Veronica, IK3ZAW/W6, writes to OPDX:
"Hi - I am writing on behalf of Fr. Apollo, SV22ASP/A. Last month he
has been quite active on SSB, CW, and RTTY (with over 1,500 QSOs in the
log). HOWEVER some idiot who did not have anything better to do with
his time, transmitted using his callsign on CW while Fr. Apollo was
operating on phone! Fr. Apollo thus asked me to clarify that on 5/16/07
11:00pm-2:00am he was operating PHONE. CW CONTACTS AT THIS TIME ARE
PIRATE. All other CW contacts should be ok. He has received a lot of
cards for contacts that are not in his log (occurred at the time I
indicated above), and he is feeling really bad for those who are writ-
ing him, wasting their time and money. He is really busy right now, as
the Fathers are building three big cisterns for the monastery, so he
does not forsee any further activity for awhile. I would really
appreciate if you could spread this message through your respective
bullettins. Thank you very much in advance.... 73s Veronica IK3ZAW/W6"
